Foreword
After being given this particular tool for healing, I set about choosing some very wonderful
people who came from the heart, to teach them
SRIE. Happily, my brother, Gary Gent. who is 3
years younger than me, and from the same genetic
pool bloodline, also has developed this same
ability-so there are now two of us in the family
who perform SR/E.
I' d like to put down the names and addresses of
my associates whom I've trained over the years to
perform SRIE. They are professionals at this, and if
you're interested in this healing technique. we have
some simple guidelines for you to follow.
I. If you want SRIE done. you must first purchase the book, Soul Recovery and Extraction from
Blue Turtle Publishing. Tbe address is in the front
of the book. Why? Because we believe a person
should be fuUy informed on the healing technique
they have chosen to utiHze to heal themselves. The
book is basic, informative, straight-forward and
should ans wer 95% of any questions you might have
regarding this technique. If you have questions that
remain unanswered, write them down and your next
order of business is to seleet a shamanie facilitator.
11. You should choose a facilitator (all trained
by me) that resonates with you. Healing happens
when you have TRUST and CONFIDENCE in your
healer. Actually, a1l healing comes from YOU, and
the healer is only a physical reflection of that tool
you've chosen to get weil by! That aside. I normally
suggest men go to men, and wornen go to wornen.
This isn't a prejudicial comment at aU, but rather,
honors each gender for their particular uniqueness.
Women know wornen much better than they know a
male, and vice-versa. However, if you want the opposite gender, this doeso't pose a problem. Pick a
name that resonates positively with you and mail off
your letter to them. Be sure you tell them you've
al ready read Soul Recovery and Extraction. Here
are my associates names:

CHAPTERONE
The Planets, Uranian Planets, Fixed Stars and HeaIth
THE PLANETS
In medical astrology tbe planets indicate the
functions or malfunctions of specific organs or
systems in the body, depending on what sign the
planet is posited in at birth. For instance, Mars
always implies a potential area of acute inflammation, a flaring up of a specific condition. lf Mars is in
Gemini t there could be an acute ailment involving
any of the Gemini-ruled areas such as the tubes of tbe
body. Which tube is affected would have to be
discerned by careful analysis of the entire chart and
the person's past and present medical data: if a
woman has experienced uterine complaints. there
could be an infection involving oue of the Fallopian
tubes; oe if the person has a past history orlung trouble, there could a flare-up of bronchial irritation or
pleurisy. The planets, then, indicate how a specific
organ or function of the body will be affected.
Tbe Sun
Vitamins: A and D.
Minerals: Iodine and Magnesium.
No number of words can express the Sun's importance to everyday bodily functioning. The Sun
should never be overlooked in a natal chan because
of its vital importance and energy to a person's entire
well-being. All inherent vitaIity, energy or prana
flows through the Sun. The sign it is found in will tell
us how the energies are being dispensed within the
given lifetime.
Metaphysically, the Sun is our Heart Chakra
through which
emotions flow. As Dr. William
Davidson has said, it is "the flre of life," ruling the
etheric body, a very fine, weblike filament that encases the physical body-the container for the energy
that flows into the physical body and keeps it funcHoning steadily on a daily basis.
This presence of an etheric body is why X-rays,
radium or electrical burns do so much damage to the
physical body. If the etheric is burned by the invisible, high-frequency rays, the container surrounding
the physical shell develops a hole and a leak appears.
Taking vitamins, minerals, cell sahs. herbs or other
internal or external aids can somelimes help this condition. Davidson implies that goose grease applied
externally will help to seal the etheric so that the
vitality of the Sun's energy is not allowed to
dissipate. Sunshine as weIl as vitamin A, is also
healthy in moderation.

Too many students of medical astrology tend to

Jupiter is a more likely planet for zioc's rulership, especially since zinc plays such an important
part in the carbohydrate system. Zinc is also involved
with fertility, which, although a Moon-pheoomenon,
is still an effort of expansion on a physical basis, and
expansion is Jupiter's forte. Not enough zinc can also
stunt one's bone growth. Whereas dwarfism is a
Saturnian affliction, Jupiter encourages growth and
extension of the human frame. For now, Jupiter seems
the logical choice to rule zine, until we know more
about zine and its functions within the body; then the
controversy surrounding tbe rulership of this mineral
may be cleared up.
~
Satum
Vitamins: C, K, PABA and bioflavonoids
(vitamin P).
Minerals: Calcium, fluorine, su1fur and vanadiwn.
Saturn should be scrutinized closely in any natal
chart. Most ailments that manifest are usually
associated with this planet. For example, whatever
sign Saturn is fouod in at birth might determine what
organ, tissue or area of the body is potentially
hypofunctioning-that is, sluggish and oot working
up to normal expectation. If Saturn is found
retrograde, the chances of that part of the body
malfunctioning are increased.
The transits of Satum can also indicate medical
problems. The planet takes 28 years to make one
complete orbit about the Sun. We "feei" its presence
about every seven years, when Saturn's main job
seems to be to crystallize any problems or insights, particularly at the ages of 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 49.
Medical problems, diseases and ailments of chronic
duration, which are long in building and manifesting
themselves and then require a long healing or convalescent period, also tend to crop up during these
critical years of the Saturn cyde.
One of the events partially attributable to the
transits of Satum is the midIife crisis, usually happening between the 42nd and 49th years. During this
time, at abaut 45, the agiog process, another Satumruled phenomenon, takes place: specifically, the
breakdowo and eventual destruction of collagen occurs. If medical ailments show up at about the same
time, a person can undergo aperiod of great trial: the
mental attitudes may be so poor that the ability to get
weIl is impaired, and the disease may linger
chronically.
Proper maintenance with vitamin C can help
turn the tide of this crisis. Vitamin C does not
guarantee a sickness-free life, but medical research
has shown that this vitamin is as necessary as life
itself. In particular, vitamin C helps form collagen to
keep the cells of proper size and shape so that they
may go about their business of maintaining bodily

Neptune
Vitamins: Panthothenic acid and laetrile
(vitamin B-17).
Neptune is an important planet to consider in a
medical evaluation of the natal ehart. The planet has
a propensity to be everywhere yet nowhere: now you
see it; now you don't. It is diffused, translucent and
difficult to pin down or pinpoint. For these reasons it
is important to see if the planet is centrally figured in
the aspects of a natal ehart. If it is, there may be initial misdiagnosis of the medical problem, misinformation about the diagnosis, masked symptoms not
pointing directly to the root problem or misread lab
or test results. A prominent Neptune mayaiso indieate a potentially drug-sensitive individual, one
who should be given a lower than average dosage of
any medication.
Whereas Mars implies strength, virility, tone
and energy, Neptune signifies the opposite. An
undefined sense of tiredness or lethargy may be
Neptune-based in many cases. In addition, Neptune
can meao weakness and atony (flabby muscle tone).
There is a chance of general weakness or laziness in

Medical Astrology
Had..
Hades is the planet of sorrow, widows, orphans
and grief in general. It rules disintegration, waste,
bacteria, depletion, erosion, regression, withering,
shriveling and deeay. Above all others Hades 1S one
planet that should be treated with all the seriousness
the medical astrologer can muster. More than any
other planet it hints at the threat of a worsening of a
condition or death: through disintegration comes a
leveling or breaking down, which left uncheeked may
mean death. In medical diagnosis I've never seen a
time yet that Hades could be totaUy circumvented.
That is, the person will more than likely take ill. By
forewarning the person and getting hirn or her to a
doctor for tests, we can modify the projected illness
but never totally halt i1.
To put it into slang, Hades is literaUy like
"opening up a can of worms." When progressed
Hades eonjuncts another planet, it is as if the lid of
some problem or illness is ripped off and comes into
the glaring light of discovery. In death Hades, like
Saturn and Pluto, will frequently be activated in midpoint struetures over and over again.
Hades is somewhat like Saturn in that it implies
long-term ailments, those that take a long time in
building and changing and an equally long period to

Apollon
Apollo was the Greek god who rode his chariot
through the skies daily to give earth sunlight. He was
the golden, fair-haired boy of Zeus, a devotee of the
arts and sciences. The Uranian planet ApolIon rules
science, commerce and industry in general.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this planet
is that it usually means two or more of something. Its
glyph is a combination of the symbols of Gemini and
Jupiter. Thus there is a large amount of knowledge
contained in this planet. A person with a strongly
placed ApolIon will manifest at least two distinct'
fields of knowledge. Moreover, surprises always
seem to come in twos with this planet -either a
multitude of trouble or a double dose of good news,
depending upon which planets it aspects in the nataJ
chart.
In addition, ApolIon has distinct dominion over
astrology. When looking for good astrology
students, I invariably check out where ApolIon is
placed, and it's almost always prominent in the
chart. It stands for a cosmopolitan knowledge of the
world in general-knowledge harnessed with the
practical tools of application.
Apollon also represents thinking on a grand
scale. If a person with a great deal of Leo thinks big,
one with a well-placed ApolIon thinks even
bigger-sometimes too grandly. One of Apollon's
flaws is that an individual under Hs influence may not
pay enough attention to immediate details. Such a
person probably has no business working in a career
that requires minute attention to details: he or she
will probably hate such a job.
In medical terms Apollon always means complications. I very freqently find an active progressed
Apollon in the chart of a patient who has already
been diagnosed but is getting sicker. The planet often
means misdiagnosis or secondary complications.
13
Admetos
The symbol for Admetos is the glyph for Taurus
plus the cross of matter: both Taurus and Admetos
suggest earth. Admetos's nature is that of a seed that
is planted and watered until it bursts forth into the
light of day.
In medical terms the influence of Admetos is tao
often like that of a seed that sows illness. A badly
placed Admetos may be like a seed growing
underground until bodily conditions are right for a
disease to manifest itself. For example, Admetos is a
frequent influence in unwanted pregnancies: a
woman may become pregnant, not to discover the
fact until two or three months later. In fact, there
seems to be astrang connection between this planet
and mothers in general: when a family member falls
ill, Admetos is fr'equently an excellent indicator that
it will be the mother.
Other medical conditions influenced by
Admetos are suffocation, choking, traction (in a cast
or bed), conditions simmering beneath the surface
that may or may not be known to the person, suspension (in an unconscious state or coma) and many
phobias.
A positive medical expression of Admetos,
though not a frequent manifestation, is a person's
ability to pull back from the depths to ward off or
fight off a disease. A strongly placed Admetos in a
chart may give an individual the fortitude and
discipline needed to overcome some serious debility.
A person under Admetos's influence is usually a very
good fighter.
-"
Vulcanus
Hs name and symbol give a fairly good idea of
this planet's innate expression. Vulcanus is Iike a
volcano. It is a planet of great energy. In medical
terms it usually represents an addition to an already
existing problem or illness: Vulcanus usually makes
the ailment worse or more obvious. If there is a
festering condition, Vulcanus is the energy that will
make it surface .
Vulcanus is also like a chameleon in that it tends
to take on the personality of the planet or planets it
aspects. For instance, Vulcanus conjunct Neptune
would mean more of Neptune's tendencies and expressions; Vulcanus conjunct Mars would indicate
more Marslike functions, etc.
On the positive side, if Vulcanus is well-placed in
achart, it may indicate a person who has a tremendous reserve of energy and strength, one who will
fight back against iIIness. Excellent recuperative
powers are associated with this planet.

Poseidon
In many ways this planet has little to do with
medieal astrology. Poseidon has more to da with
spiritualization aud mental activities than any
physical problems. l've encauntered it very seldom in
health axis problems. But, still. Poseidon may have
same influence on ilIness.
Ta me Poseidon is the higher octave of Neptune,
but without most of the negative tfaits of Neptune.
More than aything else a well-placed Poseidon seerns
like "guardian angel." It may provide spiritual protection during a time of surgery oe perhaps a hope
that health can be maintained oe an ilIness overcome
with the proper attitude.
At its warst, I suppose, it can point to the
possibility of a person having to fill out a lot of
governmental aud hospital forms-a very minor consideration to a medical astrologer in the overall
analysis of a person's health. I also believe it may be
somewhat active in the charts of people with mental
illnesses, although this eonjecture needs to be borne
out in research.
TRANSPLUTO
Charles Emerson, a prominent medical and Uraman astrologer, brought Transpluto to national attention several years aga. It was feit by many to be
the planet beyond Pluto, henee the name. Other
astrologers have redubbed it Baeehus and even
assigned it rulership of the sign Taurus.
According to Emerson, Transpluto is a planet of
uprooting trauma: anything that Transpluto touches
is further changed and transformed. It is a kind of
higher octave of Pluto. Emerson believes it influences the psyhological ramifications of birth.
Michael Munkasey, another highly respected
astrologer, reports that Transpluto is associated with
hypoglycemia. I've checked out the transits of
Transpluto in several charts and have found that
Munkasey is 100 per cent accurate.
From personal experience, using this planet only
in progressions and with solar are, l've sometimes
seen it quite active in relation to medical ailments; at
other times, when I feit it should have been active,
there was no indication of its power. I don 't have an
explanation for sueh on-again, off-again
manifestation. My only observation is that when it is
active in a 9O-degree wheel via progression, it is very
active-literally a pulverizer or equalizer in any situation.
lndeed, I believe this planet is a formidable
enemy to health conditions; however, its influence
may be more on the psychological level than the
physical. I have noted that mental breakdowns tend
to occur when Transpluto is badly placed. It could be

CHAPTER TWO
Tbe Signs, Crosses, Houses and Diagnosis
THE SIGNS
Tbe signs help pinpoint what part of the body is
potentially suspect of dysfunctioning. Of course, not
all signs with planets within thern will represent
malfunction. In medical astrology the most impof-
Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries ean mean weak sight and eye
strain since Cancer, ruled by the Moon, governs the
sac containing the eyeballs. Migraine headaches are
also possible because of emotional strain and tension. And there can be insomnia from a lack of
potassium (Moon) in the body.
Mercury in Aries
Headaches caused by nervous tension or strain
may result from this configuration. Brain disorders
are also possible because of a lack of proper nerve
synapse release: museIe coordination problems or
speeeh/thinking impediments could occur as a result.
In addition, neuralgia or shooting pains in the head
may come about because of the nerves. And there is
the potential for Bell's palsy, wherein nerves are inflamed and paralysis sets in, as weil as speils of vertigo or delirium.
Venus in Aries
Venus in Aries may affeet mucus congestion in
the head and nasal passages. There can also be
eczema of the head and face as weil as gastric
headache from overeating carbohydrates or other
rieh foods.
Mars in A,ies
This placement may produce violent pains in the
head, rupture of the blood vessels in the brain,
stroke, extreme restlessness, blows, cuts and wounds
or surgery to the head and face, cerebral congestion
and a tendency toward headaches.
Jupiter in Aries
Excess blood in the head. causing stress on
vessels, may result from Jupiter in Aries. The placement also presents the potential for aneurysms if the
veins and/or arteries do not remain flexible and
elastic.

Neptune in Aries
This placement may mean weakened adrenal
gland functioo. mucous buildup in the head area in
general, causing mental fatigue, allergies involving
the sinus cavities and weakened kidney function by
reflex action to Ubra. The blood vessels in the brain
may be weak and unable to take high blood pressure;
thus a stroke may result.
Pluto in Aries
Since Aries rules the general site of the head,
where the pituitary gland is located, and since Aries is
ruled by Mars, which in turn rules the adrenal glands,
there can be a possible malfunction of the pituitary
hormones that directly affects the adrenal secretions.
Depending on Pluto's aspects to other planets, the
adrenal glands may be sluggish, hypo- or hyperactive. Aneurysms in the head area are also a possibility.

Sun in Taurus
This placement may produce sore throats, nasal

Moon in Taurus
The Moon in Taurus can mean sore throats as

this configuration in a natal chart is also likely to
overeat because of emotional unhappiness.
Mercury in Taurus
Hoarseness from nervousness or tal king at
length, croup, difficulty in swallowing at times,
choking on objects and laryngitis are all potential
ailments with Mercury in Taurus.
Venus in Taurns
This configuration can indicate swelling in the
neck, mumps, thrush or fungus infection of the
mouth or throat and abscesses in the pharynx region.
Mars in Taurus
Mars in Taurus may create a hyperthyroid condition, laryngitis, enlarged tonsils, tonsillitis, polyps
in the throat area, adenoid problems and inflammation of the nasal passages.

Jupiter in Taurus
Enlarged adenoids or tonsils. dry coughing
speIls, sore throats and an enlarged thyroid are
possibilities with this placement. People with Jupiter
in Taurus also tend to overeat and desire too many
rieh foods that put on weight.
Satum in Taurus
This placement may cause phlegm in the throat,
a dry eough, loss of voice, choking, suffocation and
hypofuncton of the thyroid gland.
Uranus in Taurus
Spasm in the thyroid gland, causing it to go
from normal to either hyper- or hypoactive, may
result from Uranus in Taurus. Stress, especially any
sudden or unexpected shock to the system, may cause
the Ihyroid to malfunction. Colon stasis can also
oontribute to the problem. This placement may produce a sudden loss of voice or hoarseness atltibutable
to nervousness. And there is the potential danger of
choking or gagging on objects.
Neptune in Taurus
Tbe thyroid may malfunction with this placement, especially during stress. There may be lethargy
or lss of memory with a hypothyroid and nervousness and heart pounding with a hyperthyroid. By
reflex action to Scorpio, Neptune in Taurus can also
mean weak or slowed peristalsis ofthe large intestine.
The result can be toxemia, and as the poisons filter
baek into the bloodstream, symptoms such as
headaehes and skin rashes may appear. lf the toxemia persists, the entire cardiovascular system may
De affected. Glaucoma and/or cataracts mayaiso
result if the person has a family history of such
ailments.
Pluto in Taurus
With Pluto in Taurus there is the possiblity of
thyroid complications of a severe and chronic nature
as weil as polyps, tumors or growths on the vocal
cords, thyroid or within the neck region.

Virgo's main job is to breakdown, analyze and
organize. These funetions are especially evident in
the pancreas. which Virgo rules. This gland is concerned with the proper release of panereatic juices
that will digest all kinds of food. The internal seeretion from the pancreas also ineludes the hormones insulin and glycogen. both of which play a vital role in
the carbohydrate metabolism. Without Virgo's proper breaking down and utilization of these two products people can becorne prone to diabetes or
hypoglycemia, both sugar-related diseases.
Thought by many sources to be ruled by the
Sun. the spleen also falls under Virgo's domain.
Besides producing many types of blood cells, the
spleen splits up the prana on an etheric level. Without
proper trafficking of the vitality globules the body

Closely connected with the digestive system,
Capricorn rules the processes of the gallbladder. This
organ secretes a dark green liquid called bile into the
duodenum. The bile is then spurted into the food,
chemically emulsifying the fats and promoting strong
peristalsis. Without sufficient bile, fats go undigested, precipitating many serious problems.
Symptoms of a sluggish, partially blocked or
stone-ridden gallbladder are a burning sensation in
the upper ehest, often referred to as heartburn; pain
beneath one or botb shoulder blades; sharp, cutting
pains in the ehest cavity, especially around the heart;

Commonly known for ruting the calves and
ankles of the legs, Aquarius has several more important functions that are }ittle known. For one, it is
concerned with the oxygenation process of the body.
Too little oxygen deprives the cells of their ability to
work at peak efficiency. And since foods high in
starch rob the body of oxygen during the digestive
phase, a person with a strong Aquarius in a natal
chart should adhere to a low-starch diet and conserve
the oxygen for better use. Deep breathing exercises
also help to eliminate the carbon dioxide from the
body.
In addition, Aquarius influences the blood circulation in general. This sign is involved with blood
poisoning that can be traced to toxemia resulting
from colon stasis by reflex action to Scorpio.
Furthermore, Aquarius regulates the rods and
cones of the eyes. When the colon is sluggish or
regulating inconsistently, eye weakness often occurs.
In severe cases, glaucoma and cataracts can develop.
Finally, Aquarius has domain over the spinal
cord protected by the back vertebrae. Thus nerverelated diseases having to do with the spinal column
are under this sign's sway. Ailments having to do
with coordination of muscle, nerves and brain. such

First House
Aggressiveness is usually very pronounced for
people with planets in this house. They tend to strive
on physical and mental levels to be "first." Such cash
use of energy may promise depletion. Since First
Hause individuals usually have difficult times
restiog, their bodies may break down from the stress
of hard, forceful driving without breaks. These peopie need to learn moderation to insure gaod health.
First Hause people also tend to be strong individualists. lf these people are not allowed to
express themselves without the help of others they
may become frustrated. Health may be maintained
when pure, individual expression is pursued, either
through hobbies or business.
If Neptune is in the First House, especially
within eight degrees of the First House cusp, these individuals may be sensitive to drugs. Particularly if
Neptune aspects other natal planets, the dosage of
any medication should be lower than normal.

Second House
People with planets in the Seeond House tend to
have overwhelming desires to prove their self worth:
they may need to establish themselves as reputable to
the rest of society by building big houses, getting
degrees, establishing businesses, making millions,
etc. Such obsessions with "making something" of
themselves will, of course, place great strain on their
bodies. For example, they may work 16 hours a day
to aehieve their goals, in the process negleeting to eat
or developing poor eating habits.
After they have established their nest eggs, rieh
eating habits usually get in the way of health
maintenance. Gluttony is not uncommon. These peopie also tend to consume food that is high in sugar
and carbohydrates. Second House people need to
realize that earthly monuments will not give them
happiness: happiness is the one thing that cannot be
bought. They must learn that other people Hke them
for who and what they are, not for what they own,
how much they are worth or what clothes they wear.
When Second House people leam the real nature of
happiness, they place their bodies under less stress
and get rest and relaxation every once in a while.
Third House
Sinee they are usually very good at being "Dear
Abbeys," people with planets in the Third House
often beeome the centers of attention where they live.
And if they are asked too often to help siblings or
other people in their hornes or on their blocks, their
Fifth House
The Fifth House is coneerned with love. That is,
those individuals with planets in this house feel a
great need for love. They tend to feel a lack of love
and try to get ample love from those around them.
The kind of big emotional expenditure caused by
such a search may eventually ereate health
problems-aiIments that are often lang in coming
and not obv\ous at first. The need for love may drive
these people into aseries of chaotie affairs, leading to
fragmented, frustrated lives. Furthermore, Fifth
House individuals may experienee great loneliness
that deprives them of their desires to live.
Fifth House people need to realize that the root
of their desires for affection is probably insecurity.
They need to cultivate a healthy view of self. They
need to learn that they can reeeive attention best
through creative self-expression. These people usualIy have one major talent and several minor talents
and should develop them.

Sixth House
Although the Sixth House is one of the two
well-known health houses, people with planets in this
hause generally have a lack of self-esteem, and they
tend to gravitate toward stronger, more confident individuals. In doing so they may succumb to other people's needs, ignoring their own. Therein lie the seeds
of destructive ailments.
Sixth House individuals too often are plagued by
guilt-one of the most vicious emotions that humans
have acquired. Other people-spouses, children,
relatives or friends-tend to make such individuals
feel guilty because they have not become involved
with the desires of others. If they don't help others,
Sixth House peop!e believe, others will think less of
them. But, of course, the price they pay for the approval of others is often sickness-a hefty payment
for ignoring their own needs. Ifthese people continue

disorders will crop up with frequency.
For good health Sixth House individuals should
come to terms with what guHt is, what it does if
allowed to continue and how to cope with it. The
word no is a healthy rejoinder for Sixth House people
to use frequently. Learning to work for themselves first
and then making the choiee 10 help others seoond will

Neptune in the Sixth House, especially if in hard
aspect to other planets, may indieate allergie reactions to drugs. Such individuals should probably
receive half dosages of any medication. at least at
first.
Seventh House
People with planets in the Seventh House often
feel as though they can never stand on their own two
feet to accomplish anything; consequently, they may
follow the leads of their partners. Such compromise
can become a negative attribute. Although the need
to be partners with others is all right in and of itself,
bowing to the needs of the spouses Of business partner" can become very frustrating. perhaps leading to
poor health. These Seventh House individuals may
give up their self-identification and personal needs to

People with planets in the Tenth Hause are
usually very susceptible to societal pressures. These

Hause individuals may cajole their children ioto
believing thai the only way to be accepted is to follow
the nOfms established by society.
With such pressures from parents, peer graups
and society in general Tenth Hause individuals ffiay
put their bodies uoder great stress. They may bow to
society's demands and work 12 to 16 hours a day to
make something of themselves-establishing ahorne
with a spouse and two children or climbing up the
corporate ladder . They may not know the meaning of

their bodies proper time to regroup for the next push.
Some Tenth House people after belng laden wh 18
years of conditioning at horne may work hard for
peer recognition, encountering much frustration in
their searches for popularity. The worries, internal
pressures and incessant drives to work harder may
produce chronic ailments that will manifest in the

CHAPTER THREE
The Hard Aspects and Health
The aspects used in determining health matters
are the hard aspects: the conjunction, square, inconjunct (or quincunx) and opposition. These are considered "hard" configurations because the energy
between the two planets or a planet and a house cusp
is blocked. Sickness is simply amismanagement of
energy on either amental or emotional level.
Two other minor aspects, the semi-square (45
degrees) and the sesquiquadrant (135 degrees), also
playa roJe in the manifestation of disease. These
minor aspects can provide a degree of irritation and
oontinual abrasive activity that weakens an organ or
metabolie function so that severe illness or
breakdown may OCCl" when a major aspect by progression takes place. But the influence of these minor
aspects is slight in that a full-blown condition will not
manifest unless there are accompanying major hard
aspects present.
Whereas the sign the planet is in will indicate
where iIlnesses occur and the house placement will
suggest why ailments may develop, the hard aspects
indicate the severity of the diseases that may take
place. Hard aspects create stress that eventually may
manifest in physical ailments.
Conjuncilon (O-degree aspect between two planets)
Depending upon which planets are involved, a
conjunction generally infers a melding of two
energies that work in tandem; thus twice the energy
and twice the nutritional needs are created. Any con;unction that involves Pluto should be watched and
checked out carefully by the medical astrologer. Neptune conjunctions, espeeially with the Sun, Moon,
Mars or Saturn, can also be indicators of poor
health.
Square (90-degree aspect between two planets)
The old adage that a square can be a stumbling
block or a building block also applies in medical
astrology. A square implies that some stress is being
applied. It can also show the loss or overuse of
whatever vitamins or minerals are involved. But
square aspects can be worked Out and used
benefieially for good health.
Opposition (l80-degree aspect between two planets)
An imbalance is most likely with this aspecL
One of the two planets involved is receiving more
energy than the other, creating health problems, One
of the planets (but not both) will be deficient in some

The main problems involved with an aspect between the Sun and Venus concern a lack of vitamin E
(Venus). Although Venus cannot be a direct cause of
beart problems because of its elose orbit to the Sun, a
hard aspect from Saturn could indicate a vitamin E
deficiency that could contribute to cardiac malfunctions. Furthermore, since vitamin A and magnesium
are both essential for proper use of vitamin E, a
negative aspect from Saturn and Uranus could show
at least a sporadic deficiency in one of these
nutrients-a deficiency that could secondarily aid
heart ailments. A hard aspect from Saturn could also
indicate a lack of copper (Venus) and/or vitamin C
(Saturn), deficiencies that might make the aorta
susceptible to aneurysms and create heart problems.
In addition, with a hard aspect from Saturn, not
enough vitamin E may be available to help absorb the
iodine that is ingested. There mayaiso be afflictions
of the skin related to a deficiency of vitamin E.
Because Venus rules Ubra there may be troubles
with the acid-alkaline metabolism when Venus is in
aspect with the Sun. Acidosis may become a peoblern, possibly initiating nephritis. This disorder might
evolve into a bone ailment if a hard aspect to Saturn
is present.
Thyroid difficulties are other possibilities.
Venus rules Taurus, which, along with Mercury, co
rules the thyroid. Abnormal function of that gland
may occur because of insufficient vitamin A. A hard
aspect from Saturn would suggest that vitamin E is
deficient and cannot absorb the iodine ingested. A
hard aspect from Pluto, with the sign Ubra involved,
mayaiso point to thyroid inefficiency.
With a hard aspect from Saturn, there may be
other problems. For example, there may be a
magnesium deficiency, which can create calcium
deposits in the kidneys. Clots in the veins are also
possible with a hard aspect to Saturn.
Finally, there is speculation that the Sun conjunct Venus may cause a person to burn up great
amounts of energy, contributing to a deficiency of
niacin (Venus).
SunMars
Heart problems are possible with a hard aspect
between the Sun and Mars. For example, there may
be potential cardiovascular ailments involving high
blood pressure. Heart palpitations or irregular beats
may be caused by a deficiency of phosphorous
(Mars). Anemic conditions may create an enlarge~
ment of the heart, placing astrain upon the organ.
With a trine from Jupiter there mayaiso be accumulation of fat in the arteries (atherosclerosis) as
weIl as too much intake of chlorine (Mars), resulting
in potential heart ailments. And an additional hard

magnesium deficiency may result. Soft enamel forming on the teeth may ensue from such a magnesium
deficiency begun in childhood. Insufficient calcium
and magnesium could also cause hypoparathyroidism, which can further prevent absorption of
magnesium. (A hard aspect between the SUll and
Saturn mayaiso result in hyperparathyroidism since
the parathyroid is under Saturn's domain.) Without
enough calcium and magnesium insomnia may result
as weil. And magnesium is needed to maintain the
normal, regulatory pulse of the heart and prevent
coronary thrombosis. If either planet, particularly
Saturn, is in the sign Cancer, there may be poor healing of broken bones rrom a low Hel factor in the
stomach plus the need for more vitamin D and
magnesium.
A hard aspect between the- Sun and Saturn can
also indicate insufficient amounts of vitamins A and
C (Saturn), especiaUy since vitamin C is necessary to
help vitamin A be assimilated and used in the bOdy.
If either planet is in Cancer or Capricorn and
especiaUy if Saturn is retrograde, there may be
gaUstone problems that can be partially or complete
controlled by adequate amounts of vitamins A and
C. Difficulties with bones, teeth, ears and kidney
stones can also occur with insufficient amounts of
vitamin A. Furtherrnore, deficiencies of vitamins A
and 0, both fat-soluble vitamins, may inhibit the
production of sulfate and chondroitin, causing
malformation of cartilage and stiffening of joints. If
either planet is in Leo or Aquarius with a hard aspect
from Venus, a need for vitamin C as weil as vitamin
E (Venus) may be indicated to keep discs between the
vertebrae supple and free of lesions. Vitamin C and
magnesium are also necessary to prevent kidney
stones.
A test should be conducted to find out if there is
lack of necesssary iodine in the body. lf either the
Sun or Saturn is in Taurus or Scorpio or if Mercury is
in hard aspect, there is the potential for hypothyroidism. In addition, pink eye is possible when
either planet is in Aquarius.
Finally, there is speculation that with an aspect
from Jupiter and either the Sun or Saturn in Leo,
there may be a deficiency of bioflavonoids (Saturn),
causing the arteries surrounding the heart to harden.
SUD-Uranus
Uranus in hard aspect with the Sun always indicates that a spasm condition may be present, with
the' constriction usually taking place when a person is
under stress. At such limes, an individual will probably need one ofthe vitamins or minerals ruled by the
Sun.
For example, there may be a sporadic need of

with the prostate gland. And if there is an accompanying hard aspect from Saturn, urinary and/or bladder problems caused by calcium deposits may result.
Finally, a Sun-Pluto conjunction is much like a
Sun-Mars conjunction. A person with this configuration in a natal chart tends to push to the limits of the
body's endurance. Hea1th impairment comes from
not recognizing that the body needs periods of
recuperation.
Sun-Astendan'
The most Iikely hard aspeet between the Ascendant and any planet or luminary to cause health problems is a eonjunction. Very few medical problems oceur when the Sun is conjunct the Ascendant, unless
the Sun has three or more hard aspects to it: in that
case, the sign the Sun is posited in can indicate where
the ailments are likely to be found. Since the Sun
represents the body, a conjunction between the Sun
and the Ascendant may mean health problems or bodiIy weakness that will never be normalized. Tbis person must pamper his or her fragile body to keep
healthy.
HARD ASPECTS OF TUE MOON
Moon.Mercury
With a hard aspect between the Moon and Mercury a person may show a propensity toward any of
the diseases caused by a lack of thiamine (Mercury).
Since the Moon's sign, Cancer, rules the digestive
processes in the stornach, hydrochloric acid, whicb
helps to break down the food components properly,
may be missing, particularly if Saturn is in Cancer in
negative aspect to Mercury. A deficiency of
thiamine, can also cause gastric atony, wberein the
siamach musc1es become weak and flabby, contributing to poor digestion. And tbe Iiver, ruled by
one of Mercury's signs, Virgo, can suffer from insufficient thiamine. The liver may not be able to produce the coenzymes necessary in the carbohydrate
metabolism, a problem that might result in
hypoglycemia if Jupiter and/or Saturn is also in the
picture.
Since the Moon rules potassium and Virgo
guides the small intestine, there is a possibility of
tendendes toward constipation because of a lack of
the mineral.
MoonVenus
Digestive disturbances may occur with a hard
aspect between the Moon and Venus. With an additional bard aspect from Satum or with Saturn in
Cancer there can be too little hydrochloric acid
available to absorb tbe copper (Venus) in tbe food.
And since Venus rules niacin, there may be digestive

if either Jupiter Of Pluto is trine to the Moon, indicating overindulgence oe an immoderate diet.
High blood pressure is another blood disorder
indicated by a hard aspect between the Moon and
Mars. with Mars ruling activity in general and the
Moon ruUng potassium theTe is an ideal situation for
high blood pressure if a person ingests a great deal of
salt, with toD liUle riboflavin to keep the sodiumpotassium level stabilized. The potential for this ailment is heightened if either the Moon oe Mars is in
Libra and/oe theTe is an accompanying hard aspect
from Saturn.
With insufficient iron (Mars) and a hard aspect
between the Moon and Mars women may suffer
menstrual difficulties, especially if Saturn is also in
hard aspect to the Moon or Mars. The problems may
be compounded by a lack of vitamin 8-12 or fatty
acids, Mars-ruled vitamins necessary to create a normal menstrual flow.
Pregnancy mayaiso be difficult when the Moon
is in hard aspect with Mars, especially if either planet
is in Cancer. For example, there is the potential for
an anemic state in pregnancy if Saturn is also in hard
aspect or if Saturn is in Cancer, indicating potential
poor assimilation of cobalt, vitamin 8-l2 and folic
acid (all ruled by Mars) because of minimal amounts
of hydrochloric acid being released in the stomach. A
deficiency of folie acid, especially, can mean before
and after problems related to the birthing process. In
addition, there may be difficulties with conception
caused by a deficiency of selenium (Mars). There is
also speculation that miscarriages may occur if the
levels of Mars-ruled sodium are too high.
Furthermore, the adrenal glands (Mars) are apt
to malfunction with a hard aspect between the Moon
and Mars. Adrenal gland sluggishness of the cortex
tissue may make a person suseeptible to stress symptoms of irritability, oversensitivity and emotional
displays: riboflavin ean be used to help correct the
situation. The adrenals are also suspect as the root
cause of an aHment if a person has edema or
overweight from water retention: with a hard aspect
from Saturn or Pluto the aldosterone hormonal
levels should be tested, sinee the amount of the hormone produeed may be causing a potassium-sodium
imbalance.
Other potassium-related disorders are also possible. For instance, there is speculation that the
potassium exchange with chlorine may be disrupted,
causing a metabolie imbalance in the acid-alkaline
levels, especially if the sign Ubra is involved or if
there is a hard aspect from Pluto: Libra on the
Midheaven is particularly suspect of acidosis. The

Moon-Neptune
With a hard aspect between the Moon and Neptune, especially if the Moon is conjunct Neptune, a
person will probably be extremely sensitive to drugs.
And if Neptune is in Leo, any drugs being taken,
such as diuretics, produce a weakened heart condition. Since drugs are responsible for flushing
potassium out of the body, a deficiency of that
mineral may occur, putting further strain on the
heart.
Other potassium-related problems may come
about. If Neptune is in Virgo or Scorpio, the intestinal flora and bacteria may be lacking, consequently lowering the potassium levels. Moreover,
there is some speculation that if Mars is in hard
aspect, to~, a deficiency of potassium may result in
leukemia.
Disorders of the female organs, of course, are
a]ways suspect when the Moon is in hard aspecL And
female problems of an infectious nature- specificalIy, vaginitis-may occur when the Moon is in hard

Neptune is in Scorpio, there may be itching, inflammation or discharge in the genital area, caused by a
deprivation of riboflavin. With a hard aspect from
Saturn and/or Pluto there mayaiso be ailments of
the breast, stomaeh, uterus and urinary tract, particularly when either the Moon or Neptune is in
Cancer or Scorpio.
Slnce Neptune rules pantothenic acid, there may
be insufficient amounts of that vitamin and resultant
diseases. Particularly with an accompanying hard
aspect from Saturn allergies may crop up. A deficiency of pantothenic acid can also cause cholesterol to

HARD ASPECTS OF MERCURY
Mercury-Venus
Since Mercury and Venus can never be more
than 76 degrees apart in orbit, there are no possible
negative aspects between the two planets; however,
the semi-sextile (30 degrees) and the semi-square (45
degrees) may furnish potential irritation if Venus is
likewise afflicted by any of the outer planetsSaturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto. There is speculation that a semi-square can bring about an imbalance
oi niacin and thiamine, ruled by Venus and Mercury
respeetively-an imbalance that can contribute to
ailments such as a maliunctioning thyroid. With
Veous ruling both Taurus and Libra the deficiency of
thiamine may result from a love of sweets and other
carbohydrates.
With a hard aspect between Mercury and Venus
aod an accompanying hard aspect from Saturn
potential problems with the Gemini-ruled tubes of
the body may oecur. For example, the tubes may
become less elastic and flexible, indicating a potential
lass of copper (Venus) and vitamin C (Saturn). Or
there may be problems with the eapillaries.
Because Mercury rules Virgo as weil as Gemini.
an aspect between Mercury and Venus may produce
Virgo-related ailments. Intestinal disorders, such as
sprue and celiac diseases, may oceur because of insufficient copper . A lack of vitamin E (Venus) can
produce panereatic disturbanees: if Mars is also in
hard aspect. there may be inflammation of the pan
creas; if Saturn is in hard aspect. the gland may be
sluggish. And with Jupiter and/or Virgo implicated,
there is the possibility of liver disturbances be<:ause
of a deficiency of vitamin E.
The general health of the nervaus system may
also be affected, particularly if Mereury is in
Aquarius with a hard aspeet from Pluto. Such a
placement indicates possible degeneration of the
myelin sheaths about the nerves. lf Saturn is also in
hard aspect. multiple sclerosis may develop from lack
of copper.
Mercury-Mars
Nervous disorders are definite possibilities with
a hard aspeet between Mercury and Mars. There may
be general inflammation ofthe nerves. Or since Mars

the potential for Bell's palsy. Nerve transmission

Mercury-Jupiter
A hard aspect between Mercury and Jupiter ean

thiamine from being assimilated properly, causing

tao rnuch manganese may setde in the thyroid. And
with a hard aspect from Neptune estrogen supplements ffiay be responsible for lowering the basal
metabolism of the thyroid.
Finally, an additional hard aspect from Saturn,
indicating a deficiency of chromium, could point to
liver disorders.
Mercury-Saturn
With Mercury ruling Virgo a hard aspeet between Mercury and Saturn may cause intestinal
disorders. Virgo rules the intestinal traet and
everything concerned with it, including the growth of
healthy baeterial flora. There is speculation that Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn ean indicate a lack of
flora, which, in turn, may cause poor synthesis or
PABA and vitamin K, both ruled by Saturn. As a
result there may be such problems as diarrhea and
colitis. Possible intestinal traet malabsorption may
also indicate that bioflavonoids (Saturn) are not being utilized properly, creating further complications
with the capillaries. Moreover, with an additional
aspect from Neptune or with Mars in Cancer, Pisces
or Virgo, as weil as involved in the configuration,
there may be poor assimilation or thiamine, produc
ing duodenal uleers.
Other ailments may result from a probable lack
of thiamine. For example, poor bane growth in infants can be attributed to a deficiency of thiamine.
Skin disorders, such as herpes and its various
manifestations (simplex, zaster and lOster
ophthalmieus), mayaiso occur. The teeth are af
fected by the amount of thiamine in the body, too,
and not enough thiamine can aggravate the pain and
discomfort before and after dental surgery. Finally,
insufficient thiamine may inhibit the functions of
sulfur (Saturn). Especially if the sign Taurus is involved, the thyroid gland may be interfering wirh the
sulfur uptake, since thyroxine is necessary for the
mineral to be used successfully. With a deficiency or
sulfur the insulin functions of the pancreas may be
malfunctioning.
A hard aspect between Mercury and Saturn may
also cause a lack of calcium (Saturn). If one of the
planets is in Taurus and especially if Saturn is
retrograde in Taurus, the thyroid may be hypofunctioning, produeing a deficiency of calcium and
related arthritic problems. Without enough calcium
nerve ailments such as tremors, shaking, insomnia,
restlessness, morbid states of mind and depression
can occur. With an aceompanying hard aspect from

be taken to make sure the nerves are weil supplied

system, especially thiamine. There will probably be
sporadie needs for thiamine because of sudden stress.
Although Mercury is said to be a coordinator and
cooperator, in negative aspect, especially with
Uranus, it can mean incoordination, spasm or
twitching-all helped by thiamine. In addition,
Uranus rules Aquarius, which governs the spinal
cord, and thiamine in short supply can cause potential damage to the spinal cord.

A deficiency of thiamine is a strong possibility
with a hard aspect between Mereury and Neptune,
although beeause of the deceptive nature of Neptune
the problem may be misdiagnosed or overlooked.
For instance, since Virgo rules much of the pancreatie function, a case of "hidden" diabetes may occur: a five-hour glucose tolerance test will determine
ir diabetes does indeed exist; instead, the aHment may
be a carbohydrate problem that can be straightened

better oxidation in the metabolie process. Moreover,
the antivitamin vitamin enzyme thiaminase may be at
work destroying thiamine through a diet of raw fish,
oysters and mussels. Addietion to alcohol can produce an added need for the vitamin. Without adequate thiamine there may be a general weakness of
the thyroid.
With Mercury ruling Virgo there mayaiso be intestinal complaints from a lack of flora, perhaps
caused by insufficient pantothenic acid (Neptune).
The possibility of cancer of the lungs, pancreas
or liver should not be diseounted when Mercury is in
hard aspect to elusive Neptune, especially with an additional hard aspect from Saturn or Pluto. The sign
Gemini or Virgo must also be irnplicated.

First and foremost, a hard aspect between Mercury and Pluto may imply either a lack of or an
overabundance of thiamine, situations probably
caused by a person's diet. Especially if Mercury is

resultant thyroid ailrnents. Furthermore, since Pluto

When Mercury is conjunct the Ascendant, a person is apt to run on nervous energy, producing frayed
nerves. He or she needs to learn to relax and turn off
the mind and its careening mental faculties. Since
such an individual will probably never sit still, he or
she should use a rocking chair to be able to sit in one
place and yet be in motion. Worry is a great
deteriorator of health with a conjunction between
Mercury and the Ascendant, and only attitudinal
change ean assuage Ihis tendency. A person with this
configuration in a natal chart must be encouraged to
use his or her native acumen-without worry.

Venus-Uranus
With a hard aspect between Venus and Uranus
there may be sporadic needs of niacin when sudden
stressful situations occur, especially if a person is on
a high starch-carbohydrate diet. Uranus rules
Aquarius, which governs the oxygenation process of
the body. If too many starch products are eaten, a
great amount of oxygen is stolen from the
bloodstream 10 digest the starch. Oxygen loss accompanying a deficiency of niacin will bring on dementia, confusion, disorientation, mental imbalance and
depression. Furthermore, cramping in the region of
the calves is a possibility, since Aquarius rules over
Ihe calves and ankles.
A hard aspect between Venus and Uranus may
also bring on sporadic needs for higher quantities of
copper when a person is under severe and sudden
stress. With an aspect from Mercury to Uranus there
may be degeneration of the myelin sheaths from lack
of copper , especially if a hard aspect from Saturn or
Pluto is also present. In addition, sensitivity to radia~
tion can disturb the copper reserves in the body,
causing a loss of the mineral.
Finally, there may be sporadic needs for largerthan-normal dosages of vitamin E wirh a hard aspect
between Venus and Uranus, paticularly when a person is under stress, creating the potential for heart
ailments.
Venus-Neptune
Since Venus rules Libra, the metabolism in
general may be upset or out of balance with a hard
aspect between Venus and Neptune, especially with
aspects from other planets. More specifically, wirh
poor aspects from Jupiter and/or Saturn there is the
potential for blood sugar problems, such as
hypoglycemia, caused by a deficiency of pantothenic
acid (Neptune).
A hard aspect between Venus and Neptune can
aJso indicate disorders of the skin. There is the potential for loss of vitamin E because of consumption of
rancid oil, mineral oil or cod Iiver oil-all ruled by
Neptune. Moreover, there is the possibility of
pigmentation changes, especially in pregnant women,
caused by deficiencies of niacin and pantothenic
acid. And there is some speculation that a hard
aspect between Venus and Neptune can mean lack of
adequate laetrile (Neptune), perhaps causing skin
cancers with a hard aspect from Saturn or Pluto.
A hard aspect between Venus and Neptune may
signify possible poisoning from inorganic copper
sources, too, especially if there is a hard aspect from
Saturn. Since Neptune rules liquids, they would be
highly likely as the poisoning agent, but any copper
source should be suspect until proper lab testing can
prove otherwise.

Venus-Pluto
Venus in hard aspect with Pluto eao indicate an
abnormal need for vitamin E to keep tbe endocrine
system healthy, especiaUy the pituitary glands: if
Venus is in Cancer, the posterior pituitary may be affected; if in Capricorn, the anterior pituitary. On the
other hand. Venus in Aries eao implicate the adrenal
glands, and Venus in Taurus shows potential thyroid
problems. With an accompanying aspect from
Satum female problems related to a deficiency of
vitamin E may manifest, if Venus is in Scorpio.
A person who has Venus conjunct the Ascendant in a chart will probably love sweets, perhaps turning 10 them when in need of affection. As a result an
inseeure individual may put on weight. In addition,
the pancreas may suffer from the ulUlecessary amounts
of sugar and carbohydrates consumed.

Mars-Neptune
With a hard aspect between Mars and Neptune,
especially a conjunction, there may be paor vitality
and lack of energy in general. A person with such a
configuration in achart mayaiso be prone to stressrelated ailments. And he or she may be especially sensitive to drugs, usually requiring only 112 the regular
dosage of any medication.
Because of this drug-sensitivity, a person with
Mars in hard aspect with Neptune in a ehart may be
highly susceptible to poisoning. Iron poisoning may
occur, especially with an aecompanying hard aspeet
from Saturn. There is also the potential for poisoning
through overconsumption of selenium-bearing herbs.
Furthermore, a hard aspect between Mars and Neptune points toward possible chlorine poisoning wben
a hard aspect from Saturn is involved: chlorine levels
in the body should be tested by a physician, because
the mineral may be the root cause of an allergie reaction.
Mars in hard aspect with Neptune also can indicate the potential for weak adrenal glands and the
poor production of hormones therein. The adrenal
glands may be suseeptible to drug poisoning. Or
there may be a deficiency of pantothenic acid (Neptune). needed to support the adrenals so that
aldosterone can keep sodium in balance.
Since Mars is involved, there may be blood problems as weil. especially is either or both planets is in
Pisces and/or Virgo, indicating lymph-related ailments
that eould result in high white blood eell count. With
an accompanying hard aspect from Saturn or Pluto
leukemia may occur. Low blood pressure is another
possibility with Jupiter or Saturn also in hard aspect.
In addition. there can be seemingly blood eonditions
that are not diagnosable. For instance. especially with
a hard aspect from Saturn. an individual may experience fatigue for no discernible reason: the condition may be caused by an imbalance of folie acid,
vitamin B-12 or cobalt, ereating borderline anemic
conditions that persist for long periods. And with an
aspect from Saturn fatty acids may not break down
properly within the body. leaving undigested fat to
combine witb iron and calcium (Saturn) to form an
insoluble soap, bringing on anemia or fragile bone conditions (and constipation if Mars or Neptune is in
Scorpio).
A Mars-Neptune hard aspect mayaiso induce
deficiencies of phosphorus or folie acid. The ingestion of the poisonous metal aluminum (Neptune)
may halt phosphorus absorption. A hard aspeet from
Saturn can indicate a loss of phosphorus, too. As a
result the parathyroid gtand may funetion poorly.
And insufficient folic acid may result from drug
therapy.

Jupiter-Uranus
Because Uranus rules all spasm conditions of the
body, ties, tremors, twitches and some types of
onealcium-related cramping may occur when Jupiter is in hard aspect with Uranus and an individual is
uoder stress. As a result there may be sporadic needs
for vitamin 8-6 and pangamie acid, both ruled by Jupiter, to relieve such symptoms. There is also
speculation about greater needs of biotin and inositol
when there is sudden stress.
With Uranus ruling part of the nervous system
as weil, a Jupiter-Uranus hard aspect may indieate
sporadie needs for zinc, manganese and cholin when
there is stress. Zinc has been found very necessary for
the continued health of the nerves. In addition, there
is conjecture that epilepsy can be Iinked to a lack of
zine. And the nerve-related disease myasthenis gravis
may be linked to deficiencies of manganese or cholin.
especially if there is an accompanying hard aspect
from Saturn and either Jupiter or Uranus is in
Aquarius.
Finally, with Jupiter in hard aspeet to Uranus
and an additional hard aspect from Mars. there is the
potential for sugar problems brought on by sudden,
unexpected emotional stress: the involvement of
Mars implicates the adrenal glands. Therefore, there
may be sporadie needs for extra chromium to keep
up health.

Jupiter-Neptune
If Jupiter is in hard aspect with Neptune. acompanied by a hard aspect from Satum, the body is prone
to infection in general, and there may be serious
ailments. For example, there may be problems with
the white blood cells, such as anemia, leukemia or
leukopenia, or problems with the red blood cells in the
form ofpolycythemia-all disorders related to an imbalance of zinc or manganese. There is also the potential for zinc or manganese poisoning.
Cancer is another possibility with Jupiter in hard
aspeet to Neptune. Tumors may develop. And cancer
of the Iiver is conceivable if either planet is in Virgo
wirh an accompanying hard aspect from either
Saturn oe Pluto. There is some speculation that an individual with a Jupiter-Neptune hard aspect in a
natal chart may have a greater-than-normal need for
nitriloside foods in the diet to stay free of cancer.
Since Neptune rules drugs in general,
a1eoholism, related to a deficiency of pangamic acid,
may be a problem with a hard aspect between Jupiter
and Neptune, especially if the sign Pisces is involved.
The administration of drugs may result in other problems. For instance, oral antibiotics may destroy the
biotin production in the intestinal tract. And the intake of other drugs may destroy inositol, thereby

Satum-Uranus
With a hard aspect between Saturn and Uranus
there may be sporadic needs for the vitamins and
minerals ruled by Saturn-vitamin C, bioflavonoids,
vitamin K, PABA, calcium fluorine and sulfur. The
high requirements for the nutrients will usually be
brought on by sudden stress situations, such as surgery
or emotional duress.
Furthermore, since Uranus rules Aquarius, there
may be problems with the legs with a hard aspect between Satuen and Uranus. For example, varicose
veins may occur, perhaps aided by dosages of
bioflavonoids. Or there may be spasms in the legs
related to a deficiency of calcium.
With Uranus involved spasms are always
suspect. In the case of a hard aspect with Satuen the
spasms may be caused by insufficient calcium. lf
Uranus is in Scorpio, especially retrograde, there
may be spasms of the colon, inducing eonstipation,
particularly with an accompanying hard aspect from
the Sun or the Moon, ruling magnesium and
potassium respectively.

Vranus-Ascendant
A person with Veanus in hard aspect to the
Ascendant in a natal ehaet, especially a conjunction,
may be prone to tension-related ailments aod must
learn to relax. He oe she may be vulnerable to stressrelated diseases. such as high blood pressure oe
uleers. Nervous complaints, cramps, spasms oe ties
mayaiso evolve.
HAKD ASPECTS OF NEPTUNE
A well-aspected Neptune usually means proteetion. A harmonious Neptune aets like the guardian
angel of a oatal ehaet, indicating that spiritual
benefactors are at work and that no matter how poor
the health is there will be a time when the person will
get better. Neptune sitting well-aspected in the Sixth
or Twelfth House is in an especially excellent position
for conquering health problems.
The aspects of Neptune in a natal chart mayaiso
indicate an individual's ability to assimilate and absorb nutrients. Neptune represents gossamer,
gaseous liquids, able to permeate anything. Thus a
well-aspected Neptune signifies the ability of
nutrients to pass through the walls of the intestines,
be pieked up by the bloodstream and distributed to
where the vitamins and minerals are needed. But a
paorly aspected Neptune or one in hard aspect with
Saturn signifies the incapacity of the intestinal tract
to absorb nutrients properly. A heavily aspected
Neptune will imply an individual who may be sensitive to drugs of any kind, thereby requiring only V2
of the usual dosage of a medieation.
Neptune-Pluto
Glandular malfunctions are possible with a hard
aspect between Neptune and Pluto. A deficiency of
pantothenie acid may produce infections of the
thymus or spleen, causing those glands to function
poorly. And if Pluto is in Aries, the adrenal g1ands
may be sluggish; if in Cancer, the posterior pituitary
gland may be atonie, causing a multitude of ailments
elsewhere in the body.
Since Pluto rules Scorpio, which governs the colon, intestinal disorders may occur with a hard aspect
between Neptune and Pluto. Especially if Neptune or
Pluto is in Scorpio or if Saturn in Scorpio is also in
hard aspect, there may be chronic constipation caused
by a deficiency of pantothenie acid (Neptune) and an
abnormal quantity of that vitamin may be needed on

should be placed with confident patients. Under the
proper circumstances, such a person can probably be
encouraged into getting weil. Placebos mayaiso work

Me-Su/PI
This midpoint structure may bring on endocrine
problems that seem symptomatic of a nervous
disorder: the thyroid should be tested. Progressed
Saturn or Hades at the midpoint may indicate the
beginning of a chronk, nerve-related ailment.
Me-Su/Ha
The mental outlook of a person with this midpoint structure in achart may produce ailments; adjustment of attitudes, therapy or psychological
counseling could help the individual get weil. Since
hospitals are usually extremely depressing to such a
person, every effort should be made for outpatient or
home recovery for best results. The individual may
also harbor hidden fears about sickness or operations
in general. sometimes thinking he or she will get
cancer or some other wasting disease: such a mind
needs to be turned toward positive and productive activities.
Mo-Ha/Vu
A woman with this midpoint structure in her

This configuration may indicate a hidden
disorder of the nerves that will come to light with a
progression of Saturn or Hades to the midpoint.

3. Do you smoke?
lf a client answers yes to this question, a medical
astrologer should examine the natal chart to help
determine why the person smokes. People usually
smoke for two reasons-habit and/or nervousness.
Nerves are ruled by Mercury and Uranus respectively. A habit, on the other hand, indieates the influence
of a fixed sign and/or a strongly placed Saturn. In
fact, Saturn may be said to rule smoking: many doctors feel that the most important vitamin for smokers
to take, in megavitamin doses, is vitamin C, because
smokers lose up to 30 per cent more vitamin C from
their bodies than nonsmokers. But since smoking is
considered a pleasurable habit, Venus mayaiso be
somewhat of an influence.
Smoking is obviously not good for the human
body. One cigarette can paralyze the hairlike processes projecting from the cells that line the nose and

Allergies?
It is important to know about a person's
allergies for several reasons. For one, the adrenal
gtands may not be triggering enough antihistamines
to combat the pollen, pollution or whatever is causing the aUergy. An astrologer should also be aware if
a person is allergie to such substances as brewer's
yeast, whole grains or other natural products that are
normally suggested in a diet 10 get a person weil: if
allergies exist, of course, these products must be
eliminated from the diet. Furthermore, any allergie
symptoms to certain types of drugs should be noted
and compared with drugs that are being taken. In
rare instances a drug may contain an ingredient that a
person is having a mild allergic reaction to, and the
doctor must be so informed.
Allergies usually mean that a person needs
dosages of pantothenie acid (Neptune) and vitamin C
(Saturn), since both are antihistaminic in action: the
chart should be examined to see if there are two or
more hard aspects to Neptune or Saturn. If there are,
then proper dosages of these vitamins should be considered to alleviate the allergie condition.

tion, especially to the extremities. In addition, intermittent c1audication (a deficiency of blood supply to
the peripheral blood vessels in the feet, ruled by
Pisces) is aggravated by smoking. This disorder can
range from an aggravating pain when a person walks
to a sharp pain like a museIe cramp in one or hath
uate
Another disease associated with smoking is emphysema, which oeeurs when the air sacs in the lungs
beeome thin and stretehed and lose their elasticity.
With emphysema used air sits in the lungs, making a
person unable to utilize the fresh, incoming air.
Smoking irritates the already-Iaboring lungs and
causes further shortness of breath as weil as
coughing.
The elevation ofblood pressure (hypertension) is
also aggravated by smoking. Symptoms range from
headaches, nervousness, insomnia and edema to
shortness of breath. Athough an abnormal amount
of bodily sodium (Mars), which causes retention of
fluids, is the main reason for hypertension, smoking
abets the situation.
4. Do yon drink? What? How often or mnch?
Why?
This question pertains to any liquid, from water
to alcoholie beverages. What we put into our systems
our kidneys must eventually deal with. Too little
water prevents the kidneys from dispensing toxie
waste material that has aeeumulated. Hence, many
people who drink perhaps only one glass of water a
day at the most end up with an inflammation of the
bladder (cystitis) that may have secondary eomplieations affeeting the kidneys, prostate gland or urethra.
Thus the medical astrologer should ascertain how
much water a person drinks per day.
The astrologer also needs to find out what kind
of water an individual drinks-i.e., faueet water,
distilled water or spring water. Faueet water in most
places in the United States is polluted with chemieals.
This is one reason proeessed sodas and powdered
drink mixes are so popular: they disguise the horrible
taste and smeJl of local, city water. DistiUed water is
certainly better than faueet water; however, beeause
alI the minerals have been washed out of it, if a person drinks it for a prolonged time he or she should
take a mineral supplement. Bottled, fresh spring
water still has the minerals intaet and is even better to
use than distilied water.
Americans often substitute eaffeine drinks, such
as eoffee, blaek tea and sweetened, carbonated
sodas, for water. All of these substances are nutritionally poor and may produce health repercussions
if drunk in excess; therefore, a medical astrologer
needs to pay careful attention to a person's habits
with such drinks.
For instanee, coffee ean cause the loss of 35 to
40 essential nutrients required for health by washing
them out of the urine. Furthermore, it stimulates the
respiratory process and kidneys, excites the brain
functions and raises blood pressure. Although it
makes a person feel less fatigued for a while, in ex-

health. Meat is high in acidity, and many people cannot digest it properly because they have deficiencies
in pancreatic enzymes, bile and/or hydrochloric acid.
One pound of meat can generate as much as 18 grains
of uric acid. Since the Iiver and kidneys combined
can only excrete eight grains of uric acid in a given
24-hour period, problems such as gout, rheumatism
or arthritis can occur. Cell destruction is also caused
by high blood acidity from an excess of protein . And
the acid-alkaline metabolism can be thrown out of
balance, causing nervousness. tension and later
disturbing the renal organs (the kidneys, ureter and
bladder). Furthermore, meat produces a biochemical
imbalance in the tissue, a deficiency of vitaimin B-6
(Jupiter), intestinal putrefaction that results in constipation and autotoxemia, arteriosclerosis, heart
disease, kidney damage and arthritis. Edema and
aching joints are other disorders broughl on by heavy
meat eating.
America's high protein fad is a killer. It is important to get protein, of course-but in moderation.
And it is erroneous to assume that only animal products supply complete protein. The Max Plank ln~
stitute in Germany has shown that many vegetables,
fruits. seeds and nuts are just as good sources of
complete protein as meat. And vegetable proteins are
higher in biological value than animal proteins, with
raw proteins supptying better biological value than
cooked proteins.
To lessen the instances of some of the killer
diseases in America we should probably resort to a
diet low in animal protein and high in natural carbohydrates. The Hunzas, Russians and Bulgarians
hold world records for centenarians. The Hunzas eat
grains, fruits (aprlcots, grapes and apples), mostly
raw vegetables, a !ittle goat's milk and very few eggs
and meat-usually not more than once a monlh. The
Russians derive 78.5 per cent of their protein needs
from vegetables and only 21.5 per cent from animal
sourees. The Bulgarians, known to be among the
healthiest people in the world, eat mainIy black bread
(whoie rye and barley). vegetables, yogurt and kefir.
A person's answers to these questions, then, will
help a medical astrologer determine what dietary
habits may be causing disease and aid an astro!oger
in recommending a new diet. In general people with
planets in Leo, Scorpio, Aries, Taurus or Capricorn
tend to eat meat; individuals with planets in Saggittarius, Virgo or Aquarius usually prefer vegetables;
those with planets in Gemini. Libra or Pisces normalIy Iike fruH; and people with planets in Cancer are
prone to heavy ingestion of dairy products. If a person eats a great deal of meat and barely any fresh,
raw fruit, a medical astrologer can advise hirn or her
to have at least two meatless meals a week. And those

there are 00 hard aspects between Uranus and Neptune and Uranus and Pluto.
Next, looking at all the planets represented, a
medical astrologer counts the hard aspects in the
following way, writing the information down on a
work sheet such as that reproduced in Figure 3:
Su - 2 Ju - 2 Mo - 4 Sa - 1 Me - 2 Ur - 0 Ve - 1 Ne - 2
Ma-lPI-2
At this point the medical astrologer should take note
of which planets have the most hard aspects to them.
The planets with the highest number of hard aspects
are suspect of creating deficiencies within the body if
dietary needs are not adequateJy met. The planets
with tower numbers of hard aspects usually hint at
mild deficiencies that can be corrected with proper
eating habits and do not necessarily require supplementation. And planets with no hard aspects must
be scrutinized c10sely because they may be fully
responsible f')r deficiencies. To know which planet
rules what vitamins and minerals, see Figure 4.

tain its steady beat is potassium, and Mars is ineonjunet the Moan, ruler of that nntrient. It is obvious
at this point that the woman should undergo physician's tests to corroborate the findings that she probably needs such nutrients as vitamin B-12, iron and
potassium.
Saturn in Cancer: Cancer rules the stomach and
its numerous digestive pbases plus the covering surrounding the liver. This woman had yellow jaundiee
(hepatitis, inflammation of the liver of a viral or toxie origin) at age nine. It took twelve years for the
yellowish cast to disappear from her normally ruddy
eomplexion. Thus this is probably an aetive health
eonfiguration in her ehart.
Uranus in Gemini: This placement points toward possible spasms or constricture of the tubes of
the body - i.e., the eustachian tubes of the ears,
bronchial tubes of the lungs, ureter tubes that extend
from the kidneys to the bladder, the fallopian tubes
in a woman and the urethra tube from the bladder to
the outside opening in the body and the cerebrospinal
system. The Jungs, arms and bands are also ruled by
Gemini.
This is obviously an active health configuration
in this chart. The woman suffered major ear infecHans as a child, had numerous lung and ehest eolds
and had to have her tonsils removed at the age of
one. Chest colds continued to plague her through
young adulthood, and she had two bouts with
pneumonia later in life. She also suffered constantly
from cuts and bruises to her hands and arms. Later,
when she had trouble with bladder infections, the
urethra had to be stretched on four separate occasions to allow passage of the urine.
Neptune in Libra retrograde: Libra rules the
eliminative organs, the kidneys. During her bout with
scarlet fever, this woman sustained injury to the
kidneys in the form of nephritis, an inflammatory
condition. Thereafter, when under emotional stress,
she would complain of lower back pain, partieuIarly
in the area of the fight kidney. The bladder infections
(cystitis) aggravated the kidneys, and at that time she

ing a test to see ifthe thyroid is, indeed, malfunctioning. Or a patient might try a white He, saying that a
friend who is a registered nurse had suggested a talk
with a doctor about a thyroid test. Most doctors wi\l
respond to such diplomatie maneuvers. The patient has
left the decisions in the doctor's hands.
If a doctor refuses to give a test, however, a patient has no alternative but to find another doctor.
Many limes a chiropracter or a doctor of osteopathy
is the best choice. Both are licensed 10 give a wide array of laboratory tests.
A person will also stand a good chance of getting
a test run with an orthmolecular doctor. To find such
a doctor in a particular area, a person can write or
telephone:
The Orthomolecular Society 2698 Pacific Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94115 (415) 346-5692.
Such professionals deal in the holistic treatment
of the body. They are much more open-minded than
most doctors about drugless therapy. The definition
of the brand of medicine they practice is that when
nutritional needs are met, there will be the erradica
tion of a disease through manipulation of bodily
chemistry.
FoHowing are some of the various tests that a
medical astrologer might suggest be performed.
Cholecyslography
This test is run when a gallstone or partial
blockage of the bile duct is possible. An iodine dye is
given orally for absorption and concentration of the
dye to settle in the gallbladder. An X-ray of the organ
is then taken the next morning to discern stones of
either cholesterol or calcium. Since fewer than 50 per
cent of gallstones are calcified, they are not easily
picked up on X-ray.Another test, which would have
to be decided upon by a doctor, is the intravenous
cholangiography (IVC), given by feeding iodine intravenously. In most cases, though, the oral ingestion
of iodine works.
Upper GI
This test checks out the gastrointestinal tract
with the use of ingested barium. With this test the
esophagus can be studied, ukers in the stornach or
duodenum can be discerned or a hiatal hernia
discovered. The test may be conducted by having a
patient swallow barium. The upper GI is not a test that
should be done randomly: the dangers of taking
barium are well-known to any doctor, and reaction to
the dye is possib!e.
Barium Enema
U1cers, a spastic colon or tumors in the large intestine are found through a barium enema. Other
conditions, such as colitis, diverticular disease,
unknown inflammation or bacterial infeetions, can
also be spotted with this test.
IVP
SMA
This is aseries of blood chemistry tests, usually
oonsisting of 12, 16 or 20 various tests. A doctor may
run an SMA as a matter of course to determine how
ehe bodily funetions Me generally performing,
Flve-Hour Glucose Test C <".,'
This is a common test for anyone who suspects
he or she may have hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
It is also used to determine diabetes mellitus and
many other sugar-related ailments. An individual
consumes a small amount of sugar in liquid form. A
via! of blood is drawn onee before this ingestion of
sugar and five times on the hour thereafter. It 's a
boring test, and a patient will have to wait six hours
in a hospital or doctor's Office; so, he or she should
take along plenty of reading material.
In the long run, though, the test is worth the
time and effort. And it's important that an individual
undergo the five-hour test. A doctor may try to talk a
patient into a simple two- or three-hour blood test to
determine the glucose level. But a hypoglycemic, in
particular, may not start showing a problem until the
fourth, fifth or even sixth hour.
A patient should also make sure that the test
results are properly read. I've seen several five-hour
glucose test results misread by lab people and doetors. Every onee in a while the eurve will vary, making a doctor think that a patient is "normal" My suggestion is that a person should get a couple of doctors
or lab technicians to read the results. The head of a
lab at a large hospital is frequently the best person to
oonsult, since he or she will have had plenty of experience reading odd tolerance curves. Ifthe test does
come out "Iow normal," the person is slightly
hypoglycemie and should get on a commensurate diet
10 relieve the symptoms.
109
17-Ketosteroid Test
Anytime an adrenal gland malfunction is
suspeeted, this 24-hour urine test is performed. It is a
relatively eommon test that any doetor can run;
however, for best results an endocrinologist should
be seen for any other extensive lab work-ups involving this gland. 1
BUN Test
The blood-urea nitrogen is raised in cases involving pre- or postrenal or kidney failure. With congestive
heart failure the blood supply to the renal system may
be adversely affected and reflected by a rise in the BUN
test. lt may be raised if the glomerulic filtering system
of the kidneys are partially blocked. with prostrate
gland obstructions the BUN may be raised. Borderline
elevations sometimes aceompany high protein intake.
110
Medical Asuology
SGOT Test
Anyone with suspected heart ailments should
have this test. The SGOT is eIevated in certain heart,
liver and skeletal diseases following myocardinal infarction, obstructive jaundice and muscular dystrophy.
Lipoprotein/Electrophoresis Tests
This particular group of tests helps determine
some of the following conditions: tumor masses
within the bone marrow (multiple myeloma),
Hodgkin's disease. leukemic conditions, tuberculosis. brucellosis, collagen ailments such as
rheumatoid athritis, hepatitis and liver diseases.

and fever and hemorrhaging, repeat doses frequentIy. sometimes as often as every five or ten minutes
until the symptoms cease and improvement in the

mal standards, perhaps producing gastric complaints, bloating, croup in babies and poor digestion
that prohibits nutrients from getting back in the
body.
Uranus in Scorpio (retrograde): This placement
could indicate a spastic colon, sporadic peristaisis
and with reflex action from Taurus a potential
spastic thyroid condition that could manifest under
stress.
Neptune in Sagittarius (retrograde): This placement might mean poor oxygenation in general and,
with reflex action from Gemini weak lungs and
respiratory infections.
Pluto in Libra (retrograde): This placement
oould mean either malfunctioning kidneys or a metabolie imbalance. In Todd's case the metabolism was
imbalanced. His kidneys were working fine, and he
had no signs of edema or other kidney dysfunction
symptoms.
The Cross: Todd had three planets in cardinal
signs. He was also exhibiting ailments of the Cardinal
Cross, such as gastric and digestive upsets and metabolie imbalance. However, he had other ailments implicating the Mutable Cross-sugar problems,
respiratory infections and lymph gland impairment.
In addition, he had four planets plus the angles in
mutable signs. Although determining the cross helps
a medical astrologer decide on the best diet, in
Todd's case I had to weigh carefully the dietary considerations because of his allergies: he could hardly
eat any food without areaction. I decided to look at
Todd's progressions and transits before setting forth
a diet.
Other Information: The fixed star Fomalhaut is
conjunct Todd's natal Mercury.

Transits
My next step was to check Todd's transits to see
if they were adding anything to the overall health pieture.
Sotum: Tbis planet is in the Twelfth House of
Todd's natal chart at 0 Virgo. It went retrograde on
December 12, setting up a vibration, or warning.l've
many times seen an outer planet enter the Twelfth
House and activate a ehronic medical conditioo that
has been mUdly active but has not really gone ioto the
crisis stage. In Todd's case transiting Saturn did exactly that. Saturn was at 29 Leo in November 1977
with only one degree separating it from the natal Sun
in an ineonjunct aspecL I'm sure that in late October
of 1977 his conditioo beeame worse when tbis aspect
was exact.
Uranus: At 12 and 13 Scorpio in November 1977
Uranus made an exact square to natal Mars. This
aspect ean indieate an aeute condition suddenly
manifesting or a worsening of an already
deteriorating condition, which, of course, was exactIy what took place in Todd's case.
Neptune: At 14 and 15 Sagittarius in November
1977 Neptune seemingly had titde to do with the
crisis. Only the progressed cbart indieated how deepIy involved the planet was, beeause in the long run
Neptune provided the answer to the problem.
Pluto: At 15 Libra for the entire month of November 1977 Pluto remained on the Second House
cusp, seemingly uninvolved.
FInal Analysis
From experience I hated having to deal with a
strong progressed Neptune in anyone's chart: it
meant that I could be just as wrong as the three other
doctors who had already been involved in Todd's
case. But I was fairly sure that the endocrine glands
were implieated, and I strongly suspected a poison in
his system.
I still hadn't determined, however, what
substance was causing the poisoning. I had Susan call
to ask if tbe ehild bad a high salt intake, what kind of
water be drank and if he ate fish, cabbage or nuts. I
was trying to find out if a poison in tbe food or water
could be disturbing his entire metabolism-for instance, cyanide in the water or food. Afterwards I
reexamined the Saturn-Pluto square for a long, long
time. Finally, I focused on metal, specifically Saturnruled lead, as the probable eause of poisoning. This
time I ca1led Todd's mother direet. She told me that
Todd chewed on a lot of plastic toys. I told her to get
those toys tested and to get bim in for a heavy metals
test as weil as tbe other tests I had suggested for the
parathyroid, thymus and adrenal glands.
Beeause Todd was allergie to 90 per cent of the
foods a ehUd normally eats, I decided not to suggest
that he get on a diet I usually recommend for people
with strong Mutable Crosses in their eharts-one rieh
in fruits and vegetables, very light in meat and
without refined sugar. But I informed Todd's mother
of the diet in hopes that after the allergies were under
control Todd could eat such foods.
EcUpses
Outcome
Todd's mother took her cbiId to an orthomolecular physieian, who ran a hair analysis, blood
and heavy metals tests on him, as weil as endocrine
tests. In the toxic metals test lead was 13 parts per
million, with the upper limit 15: Todd definitely had
lead poisoning. Furthermore, he was deficient in
manganese, zinc, iron and calcium. And he was high
in copper, magnesium, potassium and chromium.
Todd had allergies to rye, wheat and oat cerea1s,
cow's milk, oranges, tangerines, tomatoes, pork,
almonds, peanuts, garlic, onions, potatoes, soybeans, tea, squash and string beans. He also had
severe reaetions to chocolate, egg whites, refined sugar, brewer's yeast, baker's yeast aod malt. He was
considered a nutritional allergie.

Mercer City. Ohio
AUment
Heart attack.
Background
I met Ray in March 1978 through his wife, Meg,
wbo is a very good astrologer. At 10:30 a.m., on
February 4,1978, in Dayton, Ohio, Ray had suffered
a heart attack, probably caused by a clot in the
artery. Meg asked me to do a Med-Scan because she
bad progressed Ray's chart to July of 1978 and did
not Iike what she saw: in fact, she saw his potential
death at that time.
Ray suffered from arterial sclerosis (c1ogging of
the arteries with plaque buildup). At first his condition had been misdiagnosed as arthritis. Since Ray
bad been complaining of shoulder and ann pains, the
doctor thought Ray had bursitis or arthritis and in
1976 prescribed water pills to reduce the high blood
pressure. Ray faithfully took the pills for six to seven
months and then began to feel terribly dehydrated,
wbile the pain in the arms and shoulders increased.
So, he quit taking the pills without informing the
doctor. Since he feit the doctor had not helped his
situation but worsened it, Ray unfortunately never
went to another doctor about the continuing pain,
which was actually the sign of an impending heart attack: especially in the left side pain very frequently
occurs under the shoulder blade (the scapula) and
down the arm when a heart attack is imminent;
sometimes shooting pains run down the arm, or there
is a tingling sensation or numbness occurring for a
few seconds to minutes in the hands and then disappearing.
Ray's arterial sclerosis was finally diagnosed
after the first heart attack in 1978. His diet aggravated the disease: he was strict1y a meat and
potatoes man; he also enjoyed fat, eating it from
meat, eggs fried in grease, etc. At the time I met hirn
he was 5'9" tall and weighed 148 pounds.
An interesting note: Ray had four kidneys.
123
generaIized conjecture.
The chart shows some very highly aspected
planets. The Moon and Jupiter both have four hard
aspects, a high number that needed to be examined
c10sely to determine any probable deficiencies of
vitamins and minerals. For instance, potassium
(Moon) has a great deal to do with the heart and the
regularity of its beat; and Jupiter rules cholesterol,
normally the substance that clogs up the arteries in
arterial sclerosis. The Moon plays an especially prominent part in Ray's chart, whieh contains a yod consisting of the Moon inconjunct Venus and Satum. I
would say that in this case the Moon made Ray too
much a creature of habit in terms of food.
Moreover, Ray's Venus is in Leo, in direct opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius - a configuration
that also probably influenced his tastes in food: he
liked fats, and although he did not normally eat a lot
of sweets, according to Meg, he put sugar on some
strange combinations-such as vegetable stew. A
high starch diet coupled with fat is bound to cause
trouble. Meg had tried to change Ray's unhealthy
diet in the past but to no avail: Ray liked what he Hked (Venus and Moon), and he wasn't too crazy about
trying new dishes (Saturn).
In addition, Mercury has three hard aspects to it
in Ray's natal chart. Mercury conjunct Neptune,
although not prominent on an angle, warns the
medical astrologer that misdiagnosis is possible. And
this configuration plus the other hard aspects of Mercury indicates deficiencies in much of the vitamin B
complex. So, I was not surprised that Ray had had
Bell's palsy, which, according to most health sources,
can be erradicated with thiamine (Mercury) and the
rest of the B complex.
Next I examined the Iineup of outer planets in
relation to his ailments.
Sotum in Gemini: This placement can mean that
nerves may tremble from lack of calcium to feed the
nervous system. It can also signify lung congestion:
at an early age Ray had had many bouts with colds
aod sniffles, up until the time bis tonsils were removed
at age 23. Finally, Saturn in Gemini can iodieate eonstriction of some tube in the body or partial blockage
by either a stone or other sedimeotary waste such as
cholesterol, of a small opening. The key to Ray's eondition was the arterial blockage by plaque. Jupiter with
four aspects indieates problems with the arteries instead of the veins (Venus).
Uronus in Aquarius (retrograde): This configuration may indieate neural degeneration related
to diseases of the muscles, nerves and spinal column.
Ray, of course, had had Bell's palsy, a neural inflammation. But in this case I decided to also check out
the opposite polarity, Uranus in Leo, to make sure

House cusp.
According to Meg, the second attack was severe.
The doctors were astounded that he had survived
such a seizure and lived to tell about it. Tbey all
agreed that tbe program of nutrients and bis new diet
were responsible for his survival. I had always bad
the utmost faith in vitamins and minerals, but Ray's
condition showed me in dramatic terms what three
months of supplements can do in a deadly chronic
condition. lt was a great insight that vitamins and
minerals can effeetively fight off anything-even a
erippling heart attack.
Around August S. 1978, Ray had his last,
devastating heart attack and died. Meg told me that
his heart literally ruptured that time. And I was eonvinced that it would have to be such an attack to kill
him since he was getting nutrients that his body needed to shore up agrunst the weaknesses.
The progressions at that time are an eloquent
testimony to the higher forees at work. Although
there was no clearly defined death axis, the most
suspeet was progressed Saturn eonjunct the natal
Midheaven. Another strong axis was progressed
Transpluto at the midpoint of his natal Hades and
Poseidon. This unlikely eombination to me is symbolie of the rebirth of Ray's soul into another dimensional realm, a leaving of the earthly plane for
another: in Uranian terms Poseidon represents the
spirituality of humankind, the tie between people and
the God force; Hades symbolizes the return of our
physical beings to dust. In addition, progressed
Saturn conjunct the Midheaven was surrounded by
Zeus and Pluto, a signature that indicates forces
beyond our control will be at work: whenever I see
Zeus and Pluto in combination. I know I might as
weIl back off and let the energies do what must be
done. There was so much power in the progressions
that for Ray not to have died this third time, I
believe, was almost impossible.
As far as the transits were concerned, in early
August of 1978 Uranus had turned direet and was
about 20 minutes separating from the Sixth House
cusp again, and Saturn was at 0 Virgo. sextiling
Ray's natal Pluto in the First House.

Besides having leukopenia Bonnie was

chronically hypofunctioning. To help her with her
weight I recommended she daily take raw apple eider
vinegar. which is high in potassium and acts as a natural diuretic. I also wanted her to form a diet around
foods that would increase peristaIsis; so, I suggested
that she begin to eat more roughage and fibrous
foods to stimulate the small intestines. And I recom-

mended that she get off milk: the excess mucus was
not needed with her already taxie eondition. Since
two grams of thyroid medication is quite a bit, I sug
gested she substitute kelp tablets for part of that
medication, providing her doctor agreed. I also
recommended she take supplements of vitamins A,
D, 8-6, C and thiamine. I talked over the comprehensive diet and supplement plan with her and told her to
get in touch with her doctors before initiating it,
which she did.
Outcome
In Oetober 1978 1 got an update on Bonnie's
condition: "By following your diet of vinegar and
honey mixture, etc., everything is on the way up.
(The blood) is on the border. Jt's not now critical. I
still am not feeling up to par, but the doctor said it
would take a while. I need more iron and vitamin C. I
also have phlebitis i:: the targe veins. He said that,
unfortunately, they couldn't do anything for that except for me to stay off my legs. I remembered you
saying you had a cure for it; wasn't that right? My
blood pressure is extremely low, but he said as long
as the blood keeps improving, that's the main thing. I
have been losing weight slowly but surely. If I get
really hungry, I just fix honey and vinegar and that
cuts my appetite quickly. And the diet does help to
clean my system out. At first. I had same cramps
with it. but it seems to have just regulated me more
than anything else.
"If I could just get these pains from the legs, I'd
be on my way. I'm sure the only reason everything's
improving now is because of your help. The doetors
have done nothing for months because they didn 't
know what to do-and now they don 't have a cure
for phlebitis! HELP!"
I was satisfied that Bonnie's blood was stabilizing, and I had warned her ahead of time that no program based on a healthy diet plus herbs and supplements was going to eure her overnight: it had
taken three months of continuous discipline to get
her this far. Then the phlebitis developed. I called her
the day I received her letter and told her to talk to her
doctors about getting on vitamin E and on higher
doses of vitamin C: both administered in high
dosages can get rid of phlebitis quickly and easily.
Sinee Bonnie had had a previous heart condition, I
warned her to get one of her doetors to dispense the
d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) to her in small
dosages. eventually working up to a high amount:
too much vitamin E taken suddenly can sometimes
create heart palpitations.
Her second letter came in Deeember of 1978:
"I'm coming along pretty weil. Actually, I'm 110 per
cent better, if that's possible. I'm on 3,000 mgs. of

Background
Raynaud's disease. an ailment that affects the circulation in the fingers. The disease may remain dormant for years. Then an attack may be brought on by

which if repressed could manifest in the form of nervous irritation. Probably the most significant of
these aspects is the Moon square Saturn, suggesting
blocked emotions and subsequent constriction of the

withstand emotional duress for many years, her
stored-up emotions needed to be released-in this instance in a negative way in the form of disease.

analysis because many times that planet is not implicated in the aHment, even though I check it out as
a matter of habit. But in Anne's case I feit that the
placement of Mars was a contributing factor to her
problem. Her natal chart has Mars in Cancer, a combination that can indicate ulcers or a sensitive
stomach: the walls of the stornach may be irritable or
prone to inflammation from spicy foods, and
vomiting may occur from emotional stress. Mars in
Cancer normally means the stomach holds large
amounts of acidity or excess hydrochloric acid,
which can make an individual very nervous and jumpy. With Venus and Pluto also in Cancer, by polarity
implicating the gallbladder, Iwanted to make sure
Anne was getting enough bile into the duodenum to
emulsify fats to insure no plaque buildup occurring
in the veins or arteries to aggravate her condition.
Next I examined the placements of the outer
planets.
Sotum in Scorpio (retrograde): This placement
can mean poor peristaIsis, resulting in constipation;
caking of fecal matter on the walls of the large intestine; and toxemia, potentially affecting the
thyroid. heart, throat and back. For many years
Anne had suffered from constipation before she had
bad the good sense to straighten out her diet. And she
was still experiencing pains in the ehest, had had a
tonsilectomy and suffered from dizziness-all of
which can be by-products of a sluggish colon.
Neptune in Leo; This configuration can signify a
weak heart. low blood pressure from sluggish activity
of the heart, a weak back and commensurate problems. Anne had the chest pains. She also had had some
cervical vertabrae problems involving her neck and
back earlier in life.
Uranus in Pisces; This placement can indicate
spasmodic release of insulin from the pancreas
because of emotional states. unpredictable sugar problems, foot deformity, cramping and spasm of the
muscles in the feet. This description did not fit Anne's
state of health: she did not appear to have any sugar
problems-either through testing or symptoms. So, I
looked at the opposite polarity, Uranus in Virgo, to
double check. This placement can rnean spasms and
cramping in the intestinal tract, twisting and telescop-
ing of the bowels. This, I feIt, was a better description of Anne's particular case, especially since she had
bad diarrhea and constipation earlier in life.
The Cross: I chose the Fixed Cross as the root of
Anne's problems beeause her past medieal conditions
involved fixed signs for the most part.
Other Information: There are 00 critical degrees
in Anne's ehart. She has several fixed stars, but none
that pertain to medical conditions.

Progressed Neptune had crossed this midpoint in
August, about 3 Y2 months before Anne consulted
me, and I suspect that at the time her condition
worsened she decided to give medical astrology a try.

Hnal Analysis
I recommended that Anne take moderate exereise to strengthen her heart muscle, I suggested a diet
high in roughage and raw or nearly raw foods to get
her intestines into a better working state, and I provided a list of supplements to be approved by her
doctor-vitamins B-6, E and 0, riboflavin and pantothenic acid to help her adrenal glands handle stress
more efficiendy and potassium to help alleviate her
heart pain. Although I knew that an improved diet
and supplementation could do much to alleviate
Raynaud's disease, 1 indicated to Anne that the true
eure lay in how she handled her emotional energies.
Oulcome
In February of 1979 1 received a call from Anne.
No matter what supplements she took they gave her
gas. It appeared that her gastric juices were weak
Tbe Transits
F.elipses
An eclipse occurred on September 16, within
two degrees of Anne's natal Uranus in the Tenth
House. Tbe fallout date for it was December 16,
1978, indicating that an unusual event migbt take
place. In this case, around the time of the fallout date
Anne contacted me, and I was to play an important
part in her career: Anne is a massotherapist and
without the kind of help medical astrology afforded
her she would have been unable to use her fingers and
thus unable to earn an income.

CASE HISTORY 5
Name
Jessica.
Birth Data
November 2, 1951
1:48 p.m. EST
Buffalo. New York
Ailments
Infertility. abdominal pains, exploratory abdominal surgery (laparotomy), overweight and severe
menstrual cyele problems.
Background
I met Jessica when I was on tbe road giving leetures. She told me that in two days she had to go in
for another laparotomy. medical terminology for exploratory surgery in tbe abdomen. Jessica bad gone
through a laparoscopy in early 1976 as part of
diagnostic procedures to find out why she could not
have children: her ovaries were checked to see if they
were capable of producing eggs. Then in September
1976 she went through a laparotomy. The surgeon
found tumorlike tissue on the left ovary and extensive adhesion, which he feit contributed to her inability to conceive.
In August 1977 Jessica told her specialist she was
experiencing a feeling like a pulled abdominal museie. Without examining her the infertility specialist
said be assumed she was finally pregnant and feeling
that way beeause of the eyst on her left ovary. Then a
few weeks later Jessica feit extremely uncomfortable:
tbe pain was barely tolerable. She went to tbe
ermegency ward. Her specialist assumed either that
the cyst had ruptured and was bleeding internally or
that the suspected pregnancy had ruptured in the
Fallopian tube. Tbe emergency room nurse, the only
person to diagnose the symptoms accurately, said
Jessica had a ruptured appendix. Jessiea eould have
died from peritonitis if the nurse hadn 't insisted on
her diagnosis and finally persuaded the doetor to perform an appendectomy.
In February 1978 Jesiea had another diagnostic
laparoscopy. Because of the ruptured appendix, her
pelvie and abdominal cavity was a mass of adhesions.
Her left ovary was still not in good shape, and her
specialist said that he might want to yet remove it. At
this point he gave Jessica only a 10 per cent potential
of beeoming pregnant.
Case Histories
Jupiter in hard aspect usuaUy indicates a severe deficiency, as does an inconjunct, and with the Sun ruling vitamins A and 0, vital to good eysight, and
Jessica's past history of eye trouble, this hard aspect
strongly indicates deficiencies of vitamins A and D.
Because of Jessica's problems with childbearing,
I also looked at the hard aspects of her natal Moon,
which is square both Venus and Mars, poor confJgUfations for someone who wants to berome pregnant. Next I noticed that Uranus is in Cancer
retrograde in her Fifth House: from other cases I've
noted that such a placement can indicate tubal
pregnancies or other abnormal pregnancies.
After looking at Jessica's chart I feit she might
get hypoglycemia at some time in her life if she didn 't
continue to deal positively with her emotions. Both
Venus and Mars are in the sign Virgo, which rules the
pancreas. And the Moon square Venus and Mars
suggests the potential for disease to occur:
hypoglycemia is often brought on by severe stress.
Fortunately, Jessica is extremely intelligent and
knows the value of venting her feelings.
I next examined the outer planets, especially
anxious to find out the reasons for the pain that crisscrossed Jessica's abdomen before and after her
period. Two of these planets are in Libra, a hint that
metabolie problems may have been partly responsible
for her reproductive ailments.
Saturn in Libra: This placement can indicate
thickening of the tubule walls of the kidneys, creating
poor filtering conditions to remove urea from the
blood, renal or urine retention or toxemia. I feit that
this configuration represented the root cause of
Jessica's problems: her blood, improperly filtered,
moved back into her circulatory system, poisoning
everything in general. Furthermore, her weight problem probably stemmed from water retention, which
also pointed to sluggish kidneys.
Uranus in Cancer (retrograde): This configuration can mean spasms in the stomach, stomach
cramps brought on by emotional duress, spasmodic
release of gastric juices and a "nervous" stomach.
Since Jessica did not seem to have any of these problems, I checked the opposite polarity, Uranus in
Capricorn, which suggests spasms or calculi stones in
the gallbladder. I wondered if it was possible to have

induced tumors. Note that onee again Neptune is involved. Any time one planet reeurs in midpoint struetures, the medical astrologer ean surmise that it
wields great power over all. Neptune rules
misdiagnosis, drug sensitivity, infeetions and atonie
conditions.
VeIHa-Ze: This configuration suggests an inability to eoneeive beeause of a disease of the
reproductive system. This midpoint strueture, then,
reaffirms others. Whenever two or three pictures indieate essentially the same problem, the chances are
strongly inereased that the problem exists.
UrIPI-Ma: A severe, sudden and debilitating aeeident may oeeur with this midpoint picture. When
Jessica's appendix ruptured, progressed Pluto conjuneted Mars, indicating the seriousness of the situation and the potential for death.
HaITr-Ma: Although I had no information for
this configuration, sinee it is on the same tree as
Ur IPI-Ma, I feit it indicated big trouble. In my opinion this partieular tree is a very dangerous one for
Jessiea and must be closely watehed. Hades eould
worsen the situation, and Transpluto eould mean a
matter of life or death.
Su- Vu: These two planets are in opposition in
lessiea's natal chart. With Vulcanus representing
easily mishandled cosmic force, Iwanted to keep an
eye on this eombination beeause it eould mean an
operation in the right eireumstanees. For instanee,
Jessica had her laporotomy when progressed Uranus
conjuneted the Sun in September 1976.
MeIAp-Ad: With no information about this pieture I was somewhat mystified about its meaning.
Sinee Mereury rules the nerves in general, I surmised
that it simply pointed to Jessica's innate sensitivity
and her ability to reaet under duress. Later on I was
to be proven very wrong.
Transits
Transiting Neptune had been hovering around
Jessiea's natal Moon sinee late in 1977, helping to
ereate a cloud of eonfusion and misdiagnosis, In
February 1980 it eonjuneted her Moon, then

SupposedIy mentally retarded and autistic, with
possible brain damage.
Background
I met with Steve and his mother, Joyce, in early
1978. Steve was 11 years old at the time and had been
pronounced mentaIly retarded, autistic or braindamaged by several specialists. Joyce did not believe
them. She feit sure that Steve would talk and thought
that the medical establishment had overlooked
something.
Since the doctors feit Steve was hyperactive,
they had put hirn on Mellaril, a tranquilizer, to calm
him down. And he was certainly a handfu!. He would
be up and running around early each morning, finally falling into an exhausted sleep sometime between 1
and 2 a.m. This behavior had started when he was
two. According to bis mother, at age two he "just
went haywire": one moment he had been a ca1m and
happy child; the next, he turned into a Jekyll-Hyde
personality. He was almost uncontrollable, a oervous, jumpy child given to fits and starts. He was
also underweight for his age. His diet consisted of no
fruits or vegetables, a tittle meat, plenty of milk,
orange juice and other sweetened juices and starch
foods, such as casseroles. He craved sweets most of
the time. He got aIlergies in the spring and fall of
each year.

---, Transits
Steve's transits are most interesting for the time
he was two years old. Transiting Saturn was in op
position to his natal Uranus in June 1971, indicating
something may have developed in his body to trigger
his hyperactive behavior. Transiting Neptune was
conjunct his Ascendant in retrograde motion, in
dicating further eonfusion or perhaps an infection or
bacterial problem. And transhing Jupiter was con
junct his Neptune in the Twelfth Hause. Jupiter in
the Twelfth House normally has the effect of a kind
of guardian angel but not in this ease: it only cornpounded the problem.
Eclipses
In February 1971 when Steve's crisis began, an
eclipse eonjuncted his natal Mercury within ODe
degree, indicating that perhaps there was a functional
brain disturbanee or samething affecting his speech
developrnent. When I saw hirn, there was an ec1ipse
conjunct his natal J upiter within three degrees of
orb, perhaps indicating that progress was going to be
made.
Final Analysis
There was no doubt in rny rnind that ataxie con
dition existed in Steve's body, but I was not weil
enough acquainted with viral ailrnents to make a
c1ear-cut decision on what was causing the poison. I
suggested the following supplements to Joyce so that
she could discuss their irnplementation with her doc
tor: thiamine, vitamin E, vitamin C. riboflavin,
vitamin B-12, vitamin A, vitamin 0, pantothenic
acid and zine. I feit Steve should get the B vitamins
through brewer's yeast so that he would not have to
take a handful of piUs everyday. And I told Joyce to
mix all of the nutrients in a blender with orange juice
and a banana to mask the taste. I also urged Joyce to
talk over an alkaline diet with her doetor to try to
rebalance Steve's metabolism. In addition, we
discussed Dr. Feingold's diet for hyperactive

which to undergo his worst trials, it also suggests a
great intensity of emotion: sinee the boy's emotional
pyehe had been badly damaged, it was fonunate that
his mother had found a sensitive and patient
psychiatrist to deal with Bobby's emotional problems.
Beeause the stellium is in Virgo, I also decided
it was at least partially responsible for Bobby's supposed hyperactive behavior: after observing Bobby I
became convinced that he was not hyperactive but
probably hypoglycemic. The involvement of Pluto,
ruling over the endocrine system, furt her convinced
me that some of his behavorial problems were organic
in nature.
Saturn also plays a very important part in Bobby's cbart. It has hard aspects to the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. The Sun-Saturn conjunction indicates that the father image could greatly influence
and/or damage Bobby, as it had. This same conjunction also indieates a potential slowing down of the
thyroid, a possibility strengthened by the fact that
botb Saturn and Mercury are in Taurus, with Mercury opposite Neptune, indieating a general weakness
of the thyroid. Saturn ineonjunet Jupiter, of course,
is one of the worst signals that assimilation of
nutrients will be difficult. Moreover, all of the four
hard aspects to Saturn suggest that the boy was defident in calcium: and a later bone test showed that he
was two years behind in growth from malnutrition,
mostly caused by his malocclusion.
With Pluto heavily aspected in Bobby's ehart I
feit his thymus might be malfunctioing, causing his
immunity system to perform poorly and inducing his
frequent bouts of pneumonia.
Next I looked at the outer planets.
Sotum in Aries: This placement can mean constriction or lack of blood to the head, perhaps causing strokes. It also suggests mucous build-up in the
ears, causing earacbes or deafness. And there may be
apparent apathy,listlessness or dullness from lack of
blood supply to the brain. Although I feit that this
configuration might explain part of Bobby's problems,
I also checked the opposite polarity, Saturn in Ubra.
This placement can indicate thickening of the tubule
walls of the kidneys, renal or urine retention and toxic waste being unfiltered by the organs.

At the time I saw Bobby his progressed Sun was
going to conjunct his natal Hades in approximately
three months-not mueh lead time for helping the
hoy. And within the next 1Vi years progressed Hades
was going to conjunct natal Mercury and Neptune.

about two years.

structures in the 9O-degree wheel. I was to und erstand
the nature of Bobby's disturbed brain-wave patterns
a little better. I also discovered that Mercury was
quite active in tbe various struetures.
Mo/Ad-Me: This midpoint strueture can indicate a negative or pessimistic outIook on life.
PliAd-Me: Progressed Saturn to this configuradon may trigger a long-term, bidden endocrine prob-
lem.
Me/Ne-SuIMa: Although I bad no information
on this picture, I feit perhaps it represented a
weakening of tbe electrical currents in the brain. The
Sun, life..giver, and Mars, the engine, in such a configuration could be partially responsible for Bobby's
motor nerve damage.
Su/Me-Ha: Although I bad no information on
this structure either, to me it suggested that Bobby's
mental processes migbt be interfered with at some
time, causing hirn great distress.
These pictures involving Mercury show some
mental disturbance but notbing debilitating as far as
bis intelligence is concerned. That there was physical
damage to the brain, tbough, is indicated by the involvement of Mars. Tbe Moon/Pluto and Admetos
picture also indicates barbored emotional dross that
must be dug up and dealt with positively before be
can be emotionally weIl.

Toxiclty
Vitamin 0-2 can be toxie if taken in excessive

Oavis feels a toxie dose of vitamin 0-2 for adults is
300,000 to 800,000 l.U. daily for many months;
30,000 and 50,000 I. U. daily for infants and children
appears dangerous. In the 1940s there was a rash of
vitamin D-hypervitaminosis in the United States and
Great Britain. Officials were worried about the rise
of rickets in children, they began to fortify milk
powders, infant cereals and other foods with synthetic vitamin D (calciferol 0-2). At that time the
average baby in Great Britain was ingesting about
2.000 LU. of vitamin 0-2 daily. Although the rate of
rickets fell, symptoms of hypercalcemia (excess
calcium in the blood) began to appear. In 1947 a
reduction was made of vitamin 0-2 in baby food and
supplements, and the hypercalcemia began to disappear.

Unit of Potency
The Chase-Sherman Unit is usually standard;
however, the I. U. is most widely known and is
equivalent to two Chase-Sherman Units. One I.U. of
crystalline thiamine equals 0.0005 milligrams.
History and Cbaraeteristics
Thiamine, or vitamin B-I, is not affected by
dilute acids. It is destroyed by alkalies and sulfites, is
wateHoluble and is insoluble in oU. Thiamine is not
stable in bolling of slightly acidic solution or
ultraviolet rays. Heating in an a1kaline solution
results in complete loss of the vitamin; in pasteunza-
162
Medical Astrology
partial destruction is incurred. Cooking processes destroy most of it. as da blanching and freezing.
Thiamine is involved with the dehydrogenase
system and tbe intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates. It is rapidly absorbed through tbe walls
of the upper and lower small intestine. It is then carried through the circulatory system to tbe major
organs, where it combines with manganese and certain proteiDs. It also combines with pyruvic acid to
form a coenzyme necessary for the breakdown of
carbohydrates into glucose, which will be oxidized by
the body to produce energy.
Thiamine must be renewed on a daily basis
through a healthy diet. Small amounts may be stored
in tbe Iiver fats, but a high intake of carbohydrates
will rapidly deplete the supply.
Thiamine hydrochloride, also known as
thiamine HCI or thiamine chloride, is a synthetic
derivative obtained from rice polishings through extraction or crystallization.
AlIies: The entire vitamin B complex is best
taken al1 together rather than in separate dosages,
since al1 the vitamins play an important part in the
metabolie processes of the body. In addition,
vitamins C and E are very effective in the utilization
of thiamine. The vitamin is also more effective when
taken with manganese and sulfur.
Antagonis/s: Excessive sugar intake, smoking
and drinking alcohol contribute to the depletion of
thiamine. Moreover, some people on poor diets have
intestinal bacteria that can produce an antivitamin,
the enzyme thiaminase, which destroys thiamine.
People suffering from constipation are especially
likely to have this antivitamin. People who eat a great
deal of raw fish or shell fish also bring this enzyme
into their bodies, thereby producing a deficiency of
thiamine. In addition, antibiotics can cause a deficiency of thiamine, as can any severe, stressful situation, such as pregnancy, lactation, fever or surgery.

Therapeutic Dose: One hundred milligrams or

(nicotinic acid) is taken at this dosage. temporary
side effects rnay occur: tbe body will "blush," turning red; there will be a prickly, tingling sensation;
and the body will itch and throb as the vitamin dilates
the lumen (the space within an artery, veln, intestine
or tube) in the blood vessels. As few as 25 milligrams
of niacin will bring on similar reactions. but lasting
only moments. To avoid the side effects (except for
migraine headaches and acne), many doctors suggest
taking niacinamide (nicotinamide).
Megadose: Under a physician's guidance up to
25 000 milligrams is used to treat certain conditions.
(~Recent Clinical De\'elopments.) But massive doses
will put stress on the stomaeh, Iiver, sex honnones and
intestines.
Toxlcity
No toxicity level has been indicated. Since niacin
is a water-soluble vitamin, the body eliminates excesses tbrough the urine.
As I've indicated, however, with massive doses
there can be permanent damage to the liver, digestive
tract or sex hormones: that is why the strict guidance
of a physician and follow-up tests are necessary for
administering megadoses. Overdosing will frequendy
happen to patients who need to have their blood
cbolesterol reduced to lessen what appears to be
symptoms of schizophrenia but are really symptoms
of subclinical pellagra, misdiagnosed as schizophrenia.
Delirieney Symptoms
There are many symptoms associated with deficiencies of niacin. Among the first to appear are skin
eruptions (such as canker sores in the mouth), trench
mouth, fissures in the tongue, swelling or tenderness
ofthe tongue, splotches on the skin, bad breath, gurn

and form urine to get rid of the water-henee the
great thirst that aceompanies diabetes.
Another sugar~related disease associated with in~
sufficient vitamin B~6 is hypoglyeemia, the opposite
of diabetes. Among the numerous symptoms of the
disease are tremors, dizziness, fainting, irritability
and other forms of mental illness. Its victims may
think they are treading tbe tbin line of insanity, and,
indeed, people with undiagnosed hypoglyeemia have
ended up in mental hospitals and sanitariums.
Vitamin B~6 and proper diet can help control and in
some cases eradicate the ailment.
Vitamin B~6 is also known as the female vitamin
because the symptoms of many pregnancies-edema
of the hands and legs, morning siekness, depression
and uremie toxemia-are actually symptoms of a
deficiency of the vitamin. The edema is caused by
toxemia (poisonous products of bacteria within the
body). Althougb many doctors blame this swelling
on too much salt or sodium in the diet, high sodiurn
content is not the only reason for the swelling. In one
test a doctor treated 225 pregnant wornen without
restricting their salt intake or prescribing diuretics
but instead preseribing 10 milligrams of vitamin B-6
daily. Many wornen lost their edema, whereas others
had to take higher doses of the vitamin to stay free of
the swelling. Vitamin B~6 is also essential during
pregnaney because it plays a signifieant part in the
release ofhormones in a woman's body. When more
estrogen is needed, vitamin B-6 will increase the sup~
ply.
Adequate amounts of vitamin B~6 are also irn~
portant for wornen who are not pregnant. Without
enough of the vitamin depression ean berorne a fre~
quent problem, partieularly five days before a
menstrual cycle begins. And with insuffident vitamin
8-6 women on birth control pills rnay suffer symp~
toms of edema, weight gain and menopausal arthritis
on a monthly basis.
Hypoehromic anemia (a condition in which the
red blood cells have a reduced amount of
hemoglobin) may be caused by a deficiency of
vitamin B-6 as weil. It appears that iran is necessary
for hemoglobin synthesis. When vitamin B~6 is not
plentiful, iron is not used properly and granular
deposits will form in the blood cells. (Some doctors
feel that once this type of anemia is eontraeted even
vitamin 8-6 cannot completely undo the damage.)
Furthermore, certain skin disorders are linked to
a lack of vitamin B~6. For instance, seborrhea (an in~
tlammatory skin condition manifesting in scaling,
redness and crusted patches on the face, scalp and
ears) can be cured with vitamin B~6: in one test, when

Defldency Symptoms
Jt's almost impossible to get a deficiency of
biotin unless a person is on a diet high in raw eggs,
causing avidin to bind the biotin and make the
vitamin unassimilable. In one reported case a doctor
placed a patient with a Iiver ailment on a high-protein
diet, wbich inc1uded six raw eggs daily and two
quarts of milk with her regular meaJs. After maintaining the diet for 18 months, the woman
manifested a deficiency of biotin. Another way a
slight or moderate deficiency of biotin may develop is
by taking sulfa drugs or other antibiotics that kill the
bacterial flora in tbe intestines needed to syntbesize
the vitamin.
If a deficiency does occur, dermatitis (a skin
condition) may appear, and the flesh will take on a
grayish cast. In addition, hair may start faJting &ut.
There may be dry skin, lack of appetite or energy, insomnia, depression and a disturbed nervous system.
A dry, scaJy, itching type of eczema may occur if oral

Reeent Oinical Developments
Some infants have been reported to have a
biotin-related ailment, seborrheic dermatitis, early in
their frrst few months after birth. Their digestive
systems may be defective at the beginning and not
producing gastric enzymes for hydrolysis of biotin. If
a mother is breast-feeding an infant, her own body
will be able to convert bound to unbound biotin, carried in tbe breast milk. The mother can add liver and
cooked eggs to her diet to help her infant with this
problem. Injections of biotin are also known to c1ear
up the disorder .
Sudden Death Syndrome (SIDS) in children may
be attributed to a deficiency of biotin as weil. This
disease. usually fatal. strikes babies two to four
months old. Research scientists in Australia and England working with baby chicks found that the chicks
died witbout waming from a deficiency of biotin plus
mild stress. Subsequently, tbe bodies of 35 infants
who had died from SIDS were checked: their levels of
biotin were found to be very low. Moreover, many of
the babies who died of SIDS were found to be heavily
c10thed at the time of death. The theory now is that
SIDS develops from a lack of biotin, prompted by
some event such as a missed meaJ, plus too much
warmth or coldness from blankets or c10thes or a
change in environment.

pregnancy, one of tbe vitamins needed may be biotin.

Histon and Characteristics
P ABA, a necessary component of the vitamin B
complex, is a vitamin within a vitamin, and there is
still some question as to whether or not it should be
considered a vitamin. lt is water-soluble.
PABA was discovered because it is antagonistie
to sulfa drugs. Sulfa in the body links up with the
same bacteria in the intestinal traet that PABA does.
Consequently, if PABA is present first, sulfa drugs
are rendered harmless; conversely, if the sulfa arrives
first in the intestinal tract, PABA is crowded out and
not created. Because of this problem, PABA cannot
be purehased for internal or oral ingestion without a
prescription, but it can be found in over-the-counter
external cream applications for skin or sunburn problems.
PABA stimulates the intestinal flora to make
folie acid, which in turn ereates pantothenic acid.
PABA is a coenzyme that uses proteins. It helps in
the formation of red blood eells. It also helps to
determine the health of the skin, hair and flora of the
intestinal tract.
PABA is synthesized within the intestinal tract
by healthy and friendly baeteria. It is also stored in
the body tissue.
AlJies: PABA is most effective when taken with
the rest of the vitamin B complex, especially folie
acid as weil as vitamin C.
Antagonists: PABA's effectiveness is diminished
by sulfa drugs.
Dosages
Recommended Dietary AI/owance: The need for

Anemia of the megaloblastie variety can be induced by a deficieney of folie acid. Such symptoms
as fatigue, bodily weakness, irritable behavior, insomnia and forgetfulness ean be forerunners of this
ailment. Furthermore, sore mouths and tongues and
sometimes a grayish-brown pigmentation of the skin
may also aeeompany this type of anemia. (Folie acid
is not responsible for pernicious types of anemia,

It is also very important for pregnant wornen to
have adequate supplies of folie acid in their bodies.
Pregnant women deficient in folie acid have been
known to give premature birth, to hemorrhage after
birth and to ineur toxemia. Abruptio plaeentae

History and Characteristics
First obtained in a pure state from yeast and
Iiver extraets, pantothenic acid is a pale yellow,
unstable viscous oil. Because it is so unstable as an
oil, it is stabilized in the calcium or sodium form.
And it is available commercially as astahle, white
crystalline calcium or sodium salt (both synthetic). It
takes 1.087 parts of calcium pantothenate to be
equivalent to I part of pantothenic acid. A component of the vitamin B complex, pantothenic acid is
readily soluble in water. It is sensitive to acid, alkali
and heat. Up to 44 per cent of the vitamin is lost in
oooking.
Pantothenic acid, or pantothen (derived from
the Oreek work meaning "from everywhere"), i5
found in all kinds of animal and plant tissue. It may
occur free but is usually chemically bound.
Although it occurs in allliving cells, pantothenic
acid is especially important in the adrenal cortex (the
outer layers of tissue surrounding the adrenal glands
located atop each kidney), where it stimulates production of cortisone and rnany other hormones
responsible for healthy nerves and skin. Because of
its importanee to adrenal funetions, this vitamin is
involved in all the vital bodily fUetions.
One of its most important tasks is keeping the
body free from infection. Pantothenic acid has been
identified as essential to the produetion of antibodies. It increases energy and speeds recovery. And
pantothenic acid, which protects all membranes from
possible infection, is necessary to keep the endocrine
system funetioningproperly.
Furthermore. as a coenzyme (A) pantothenic
acid synthesizes cholin into acetylcholine in the area
of the brain responsible for the synapses taking place
between nerve endings. Pantothenic acid also helps
to synthesize cholesterol, steroids (fat-soluble compounds) and fauy acids. And it keeps the intestinal
flora healthy.
Pantothenic acid is found in the plasma of the
blood. Small amounts of it are found in the Iiver,
heart and kidneys. Since it is water-soluble, it is excreted in the urine on a daily basis.
AlIies; Pantothenic acid is most effective when
taken with the rest of the vitamin B complex,
especially vitamin 9-6, vitamin B-12, biotin and folie
acid. Vitamin C, calcium and sulfur are also primary
allies.
;', ..
Vitamins
Toxiclty
There are no known side effects from pantothenic acid; however, folie acid is believed to be needed to assimilate pantothenie acid.
DelieieDcy Symptoms
Because pantothenic acid is found in most eells
of the body, the vitamin is not usually laeking;
however, deficiencies ean exist. Same of the early
symptoms are fatigue, depression, irritability and
dizziness - all related to a lack of the release of proper amounts of adrenal hormones that rely on pantothenic acid for their production. If the deficiency
continues, muscular weakness can develop; moreover
stornach distress and constipation will begin.
In a severe state of depletion there will be
adrenal exhaustion. For example. a lack of pantothenic acid will hinder production of an adrenal hormone that saves nitrogen from the worn body cells
and redistributes it for building amino acids vital to
tissue repair. Thus in the phase of adrenal exhaustion
the musc1es will lose their strength, inducing cramping and lack of coordination. Another hormone,
aldosterone, retains sodium in the cell structures:
without enough pantothenic acid the sodium is not
produced, potassium leaves the cells, and muscular
problems, including weakness and partial or complete paralysis. may occur.
A secondary ailment of exhausted adrenal production is low blood pressure, brought on when large

Deficlency Symptoms
Many of the symptoms of scurvy that Americans
share in common are spongy gums, bleeding gums
(especially during brushing). pyorrhea (a disorder of
the gums) and loose teeth. More advanced signs of
scurvy include capillary hemorrhaging, easy bruising
with the bruises disappearing only after many days or
weeks. swollen joints and continual susceptibility to
infections. In the later stages of the disease there can
be fractured bones, anemia and respiratory and intestinal infections.
Other signals of a deficiency of vitamin C are
wounds or broken bones that take an inordinate
amount of time to heal. nosebleeds. peptic and
duodenal ulcers. reduction of hemoglobin that causes
secondary anemia and impaired adrenal functions
that bring about fatigue, irritability and exhaustion.
Recent Oinical Developments
Vitamin C is a powerful friend to many other
vitamins. Taken in sufficient doses, for example, it
decreases symptoms of a deficiency of folic acid by
stimulating formation of the citrovorum factor or
folinic acid. In addition, it protects thiamine,
riboflavin, panthothenic acid, folic acid. vitamin A
and vitamin E against the oxidation process. And
vitamin B-12 can be replaced or potentiated by ascorbic acid in lactic acid bacterial.
One of the best vitamin teams is vitamin C and
pantothenic acid. Vitamin C has been known to
stimulate the growth of intestinal flora that produce
the body's needed amounts of the vitamin B complex, including pantothenic acid. Together the
vitamins also help in healing ulcerous tissue. particularly in the stornach and duodenal area: without
enough pantothenic acid ulcers can develop; and
without enough vitamin C ulcers cannot heal.
Moreover, vitamin C can partially compensate
for a deficiency of pantothenic acid, especially in
preventing adrenal exhaustion. Pantothenic acid is
responsible for hormonal output to keep the body
stable during duress. Although the hormones can be
supplied without vitamin C, if not enough vitamin C
is available. the glands may hemorrhage and the out

Deficlency Symptoms
Very rarely is there a deficiency of vitamin E.
Deficiencies related to vitamin E actually develop
because the vitamin is not available in sufficient
quantities to synthesize properly with other
substances, such as po!yunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFA), nonspecific antioxidants, selenium or
sulfur-containing amino acids. For example, if
vitamin E is insufficient to halt the oxidation of fatty
acids, hemolytic anemia may occur because the
hemoglobin is not kept within the cells.
When a deficiency of vitamin E does occur,
however, there may be degeneration of the car
diopulmonary region, the formation of clots,
decreased circulation and strakes. Problems with
sterility related to cell regeneration and other
reproductive disorders in women, such as miscar
riages, resorption of the fetus and menopausal
ailments, can also be brought on by lack of vitamin
E.
Severe deficiencies of vitamin E can damage the
kidneys, liver and pancreas. A lack of the vitamin is
implicated in nephritis (kidney tubules blocked by
dead cells, halting the flow of urine out of the body),
pancreatic inflammation and gastrointestinal upsets
from faulty absorption of fats and fatsoluble
vitamins.

They are stable to heat and oxidation. Cooking won 't
easily destroy vitamin K, although frozen foods are
found to be defieient in it. Four synthetic varieties
(K-3 through K-7) are used by doctors in treating
hemorrhaging when natural vitamin K cannot be
utilized by the body.
Vitamin K was discovered in 1935 by Henrik
Dam, a Danish seientist. He named it koagulation
because of its blood-clotting abilities. Once hemorrhaging takes place within or outside the body, a factor called prothrombin is changed by enzymatic action into thrombin. which then converts fibrinogen in
the blood into fibrin. Fibrin literally becomes a protein oet that halts the flow of red corpusc1es uotH the
flow ceases-in other words, what is koown as
coagulation. To date, it has been discovered that four
out of five blood coagulation factars are proteins
that need vitamin K to start the coagulation process.
Vitamin K is also involved with the conversion
of glucose into glycogen, which is stored in the Iiver.

History and Characteristics
Found with both sodium and potassium forms
in the body, chlorine helps to maintain the acidalkaline balance. EssentiaJ in regulating the pressure
both outside and within the cells, chlorine helps to
stimulate hydrochloric acid into the stornach to
digest food. It aJso helps the liver to filter out waste
and toxic products. Moreover, tendons and joints are
kept elastic and supple because of chlorine's
beneficial effects. And it helps transport hormones to
where they are needed in the body.
However. it may be that we are getting way too
much chemical chlorine from our drinking water.
With so much chlorine in our tap water (not wen
water, distilied water or bottled mineral water) many
experts feel we have traded typhoid, once carried in
the water, for atherosclerosis (cholesterol deposits in
the arteries). Furthermore, some people are allergie
to the chlorine in tap water and exhibit signs of
asthma, allergies or hives.
Perhaps the most frightening fact about chlorine
is that to date there has been no organized investigation to study the long-term effects of the mineraJ on
the human body. It still is not completely understood
if chlorine, a poisonous gas, is chemically converted
into the chloride ion, which is safe. Or. Joshua
Lederberg, biochemist, asserts that chlorine may indiscriminately kill more than just bacteria: he feels
that it may affect the genetic DNA in our bodies,
perhaps enough to cause deformities in our infants.
It is obvious that much more study needs to be done
to prove or disprove these allegations. Until then

with the synthesis of protein in a binding action with
RNA. It is necessary for the synthesis of fats, and

Because of farming methods the soil is depleted
of this mineral. Junk foods and highly processed

nying convulsions, shock, paralysis, coma and eventually death. If a person survives, there will be
widespread capillary, kidney and liver damage. For
these reasons a person should consult a physician
before taking any synthetic copper derivative.
Deficiency Symptoms
Although a deficiency of copper is rare, infants
who are anemic will sometimes display low blood
copper levels. Dysproteinemia, an ailment affecting
babies, is characterized by edema, low protein, iron
and copper levels plus anemia. lt can be corrected
through administration of iron and copper.
Low serum copper levels are also observed in
kwashiorkor, sprue, celiac disease and hypoproteinemia (deerease of protein in the blood).
Wirh insufficient copper bodily weakness may
be evident in general, skin sores may erupt, or
breathing may beeome labored or impaired.
Retent Clinical Developments
Tests conducted on humans have shown that
serum copper levels are low in patients who have
atherosclerosis or aneurysms. Aneurysms, usually
deadly, oeeur suddenly and with liule warning. When
the walls of arteries or veins beeome inflexible,
creating poekets and thereby beeoming thinner, they
begin to balloon in and out with the flow of blood. lf
the blood pressure is heightened, the thin walls may
explode, spewing blood into the ehest or abdominal
cavity-the process known as an aneurysm. The aorta valve leading to the heart is an especially sensitive
area for aneurysms if there is a copper enzyme deficiency. Copper administered in eonjunction with
vitamin C helps insure the continued elasticity of the
walls of the veins and arteries so that such aneurysms
will not oceur.
Too Iittle copper can also lead to osteoporosis. It
has been discovered that if organ meats naturally
high in copper are substituted for muscle meats in the
diet such bone problems can be corrected.
Tests conducted on animals indicate that increasing the natural copper intake retards the
development of cancer and lessens the chances of
liver damage, too.
Although natural copper is needed; copper tubing, bowls and utensils can possibly induce copper
poisoning or destroy vitamin C on contacL Thus,
when a salad is tossed in a copper bowl, its vitamin C
content is destroyed upon contact. Paring knives
whose coatings have been worn away, exposing the
copper, can also rob fruits and vegetables of this
valuable vitamin. In addition, milk that is being
pasteurized may be contaminated when run through

Women 100 mcg.
Pregnant Women 125 mcg.
Lactating Women 150 mcg.
Therapeutic Dose: Adelle Davis reports that
thyroid abnormalities in Japan are nonexistent
because of their generous daily intakes of iodine
from seaweeds and fish: they consume approximately
three milligrams of iodine daily. To try to get that
much from iodized salt is a big mistake, since salt in
immoderate proportions causes high blood pressure
and kidney damage, among otber disorders. We can
get that much from kelp tablets, but Davis feels that
kelp tab lets can be of benefit only if the label is
disregarded and a person consumes 15 to 25 tablets
each day.
Megadose: Certain patients, including children,
have been given 2,400 milligrams of natural, organie
iodine (not a synthetic variety) daily for up to five
years without symptoms of toxicity; bowever, even
natural iodine may be toxic at some point, and a
physician's help is recommended in monitoring any
administration of megadoses.
Toxicity
Although the toxicity level is unknown at this
time, iodine prepared as a drug or medicine must be
prescribed and monitored closely by a doctor to
avoid poisoning. Sudden overdose may halt synthesis
of thyroxine in the thyroid. Symptoms of iodine
poisoning are a burning pain in the mouth, throat
and stornach, thirst, vomiting, bloody diarrhea,
painful and interrupted urination and eventually

should get a T-3, T-4, T-7 test and talk to her doctor about supplementing her diet with kelp or other
sources of iodine (not iodized salt).
With a deficiency of iodine the thyroid may
hemorrhage quickly and literally float in a sea of
blood. Scar tissue then forms and the gland begins to
behave erratically, throwing the body's metabolism
out of balance.
Foods such as peanuts, untoasted soy flour and
members of the cabbage family can stop absorption
of iodine. Anyone who eats many of the above foods
needs an adequate increase of iodine in order not to
rob the thyroid of its share of iOdine.
In addition, when vitamin E is deficient in the
body, the absorption of iodine into the thyroid
decreases by five per cent of normal. To compensate
for this lack, the gland will become overactive.
Adelle Davis recommends 500 milligrams of vitamin
E daily to help the thyroid absorb twice as much
iodine. She also notes that people with toxie thyroid
conditions are helped by taking four to six milligrams
of iodine on a daily basis.

without energy. Since wornen tend toward deficiencies of iron on a rnonthly basis during their menstrual,
cydes, they are the most prone to anemia: it is
estimated that six to ten million warnen between the
ages of 18 and 59 may have anemia or a tendency toward anemia.
Iron is absorbed in the duodenum of the upper
intestinal tract, or it is absorbed direetly into the
bloodstream rather than by way of the lymphatic
system. It is then stored intracellularly in the liver,
spleen and bane rnarrow as ferritin and hemosiderin,
with most ofthe iran found in hemoglobin. Iron is so
precious that once it is assimilated by the body it is
never destroyed: it simply leaves dead cells and
moves on to help make new ones.
Allies: lron's primary allies are vitamin B-6,
folie acid and copper . lt is also more effective when
taken with vitamin B-12, vitamin C, calcium, cobalt,
phosphorus and hydrochloric acid. Vitamin E is also
an ally of chelated iron.
Antagonists: If vitamin E is taken either with
ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate, it becomes an
antagonist, more or less cancelling out iron's
chemical actions and vice versa. Anyone who takes a
synthetic variety of iron should wait 10 to 12 hours
before taking vitamin E.
A diet high in phytates (grain-type products) or
phosphates will interfere with iron absorption, too.
Those radicals form highly insoluble salts with iron
that are impossible to absorb via the intestinal tract.
On the other hand, a diet low in phosphates will increase assimilation of iron.
In addition, arthritic victims who are on regular
steroid. chloroquine or aspirin medication run the
risk of lost absorption of iron. They should
periodically test their hemoglobin counts. Bolstering
their diets with natural sources of iran will also insure
that their bodies do not become depleted of the
mineral, causing anemia.
Dosages
Recommended Dietary Allowance: The National Research Council feels that 18 milligrams of iron
for wornen and 10 milligrams for men are neeessary
on a daily basis; however, because of the demands on
iron brought about by menstrual eydes, pregnancy
and lactation, most women between the ages of 18
and 59 should consider higher dosages. WOrnen have
less iron in their bodies to begin with. Moreover, they
lose up to two milligrams daily during their monthly
cydes-a loss two to four times greater than the
needed daily intake of average men, who get by quite

Hemosiderosis (a kind of iron poisoning) usuaIly
occurs when too litrle vitamin B-6 is ingested or too
many synthetic iron pills are taken without proper
safeguards. With hemosiderosis excess iron is usuaIly
stored in the liver or spleen, causing scar formation,

History and Characteristics
In Roman times manganese was recognized as
possessing "female" and magnetic properties and
was considered important in the creation of gla5s.
One of the peculiarities of tbis mineral is that when it
is missing in the female of any species, including
humans, the female will reject her baby. Its magnetic
properties are still being explored. Although many
laboratory tests with manganese have been ~rformed
on animals, few have been conducted on humans.
Therefore, information about the mineral is sparse.
Manganese was isolated in the mid-1700's by
Schelle. It works with enzymes, helping to synthesize
fatty acids and cholesterol. It also takes part in the
production of protein, carbohydrates and fat. It
works hand-in-hand with thiamine and is instrumental in aiding cholin in insuring proper functioning of
the nerves. In addition, manganese is instrumental in
keeping hormone levels stable. particularly those
dealing with the sex hormones and the pituitary
gland. And it is necessary for the proper formation
of bones: with insufficient manganese spurs, twisted
bones and other deformities will occur.
Although it's very difficult to get a deficiency of
manganese, our fertilizers contain none of the trace
mineral, and our farmlands are leached of many
valuable nutrients. including manganese; therefore.
there is the potential for a deficiency, especially for a
person who eats a lot of highly refined foods, such as
Minerals
Deficiency Symptoms
One of the strangest and saddest symptoms of a
deficiency of manganese is a woman's loss of love for
her cbild after birth. Although she may feel very guilty about her feeling.'>, she may not want to nurse or
hold the infant or have anything to do with i1. Along
with this phenomenon her nipples may become very
tender, and she may experience swelling ofthe Iymph
glands. She may want to be left completely alone and
may suffer crying speils. Moreover, she may be testy,
arguing easily.
Some other less noticeable symptoms of a deficiency of manganese are crackling or popping bones
as a person gets up to walk or a burning or gripping
sensation of the arms or legs. And the eyes may
become red and swoIlen, although the individual has
not cried recently.
With a severe deficiency in a child bone growth
may be stunted. An outcome of a severe deficiency in
an adult may be sterility or impotence.
In addition, one kind of diabetes is being blamed
in part on a deficiency of manganese beeause the
mineral plays a very important part in the glucose cyc1e by he1ping to remove excess sugar from the blood
through either oxidation or storage.
Myasthenia Gravis (a disease that attacks musc1e
coordination and causes loss of strength) 1s felt to be
related to a deficiency of manganese, too, as is multiple sc1erosis (a nerve degeneration disease).
Recent Clinical Developments
As I've indicated, the only tests with manganese
have been conducted on animals. One experiment
that caused some flurry among the scientific community showed that manganese inhibits iron uptake.
The experimenters thought that perhaps iron and
manganese share a pathway, but the general consensus since then is that there exist separate pathways for
manganese and iran.
The amount of manganese in the body appears
to affect cholesterol levels. The mineral has been
used to bring levels of cholesterol down in cases of
atherosc1erosis In another test regarding fat and lipid
metabolism manganese was found to increase
cholesterol synthesis.
Scientists have found that administrations of
estradiol (a steroid produced by tbe ovary and having
estrogenic properties) increase the level of manganese
in the blood, whereupon the thyroid gland tends to

ailments such as arthritis, rickets, cavities ofthe teeth
As l've indicated, the correct calciumphosphorus balance in the body is crucial. An upset
in the calcium-phosphorus balance either way can
produce rickets: vitamin 0 can help avert or lessen
this disease. (Beryllium, a trace mineral toxic to the
human body, can also cause astrain of rickets that
vitamin 0 cannot eure or affect.) Phosphorus is also
beneficial in preventing osteomalacia (an adult kind
of rickets) and osteoporosis. In addition, because
phosphorus helps calcium in the ossification to create
strong bones, phosphorus speeds up healing of fractures and reduces losses of calcium. And laboratory
experiments on rats indicate that a high intake of
phosphorus and a low amount of calcium may cause
arthritis: the condition was corrected when twice as
much calcium was given.
It has also been found that phosphorus is more
easily lost when a cell becomes cancerous, hinting
perhaps that phosphorus and calcium added to the
diet may provide a preventive measure.
Furthermore, breast-feeding places astrain on
the phosphorus mobilization, and many mothers
may suffer from a mineral imbalance. As milk production decreases, a woman's levels of phosphorus
return to normal.
A possible answer for those who need antacid
tablets is to use dolomite, which has higbly digestible
magnesium carbonate, calcium and phosphorus.
Emotional situations, iIlness or surgery may
cause tbe adrenal glands to release large amounts of
cortisone to protect the body. The cortisone then
draws minerals from the bones. precipitating the
urinary loss of both calcium and phosphorus-a
vicious cycle that continues untU the stress is relieved

Constriction or closing of the urethra seems to
be related to a deficiency of potassium as weil.
Paralysis of the bladder and urethra may even occur
with a severe deficieney. It has been reported that
problems with voiding have been eliminated with
adequate amounlS of the mineral.
In addition, kidney stones are brought about
from a diet of refined food products, too much salt
and not enough fruits or vegetables eontaining
potassium. Without potassium the urine beeomes
alkaline, and the minerals cannot be contained in the
solution. At that point they become deposited as
stones.
After surgery a condition known as seeondary
hypokalemia may result because of an extreme deplelion of potassium. The condition commonly
manifests through episodes of muscular weakness,
paralysis and lack of calcium. Saline solutions given
intravenously will also deplete the stores of
potassium.
Colic, experienced by hundreds of thousands of
babies each year, has been found to disappear with
injections of potassium chloride.
Potassium can also alleviate some of the iIIs of
older people. Elderly people frequently experience
extreme fatigue, apathy, listlessness and depression.
They can also become grossly underweight. Several
doctors have found that for people over 65 a diet
high in potassium or supplements of potassium seern
to correet these problems.
In addition, people who have leukemia (overproduction of white blood cells) seem always to have
low levels of potassium. So far the medical establishment has not been able to explain why this
phenomenon oceurs.
Muscular dystrophy (a wasting away and
atrophying of muscle tissue) is also thought perhaps
to be related to a deficiency of potassium. Doetors
postulate that a ceU defeet in the forming process
may allow the mineral to slip away, thereby eneouraging weak and flabby muscle coordination, the
main symptoms of the disease.
There is a commonly beHeved myth that a person who works long and hard out in the Sun should
take sah tablets. But taking sah tablets will induce a
severe deficieney of potassium and instead of h"lping
may hurt the body. Anyone perspiring out in the Sun
should take potassium and salt substanees together.
Anyone who is fasting to lose weight should probably also take supplements of potassium to help the
body over the shock of going from food to no food.
Although a preferable way to lose weight than taking

History and Characleristics
Mareo Polo first noticed selenium around the
year 1295. He noted that the mountains of western
China eontained plant vegetation that onee eaten
eaused the hooves of beasts of burden to fall off.
The name selenium comes from the Greek word
selene, meaning "the Moon," lsolated in 1957 by
Sehwartz and Foltz, the mineral is feit to be an essen-
tial nutrient that has a great deal to do with the intrieacy of the metabolie and enzymatie functions. lt
helps ins ure proper body growth and aids in fertility.
As is vitamin E, this mineral is a natural antioxident of polyunsaturated fauy acids that will solidify
tissue protein. It is also said to go after the free
radieals that bring on the aging process of lines,
wrinkles, sagging skin and general skin degeneration.
In addition, it helps prevent red blood cells from being unduly damaged or destroyed tao quickly by the
oxidation process. And it proteets the body from
mercury poisoning.
Selenium works in concert with vitamin E. With
proper amounts of selenium in the body vitamin E is
spared to a degree. And selenium h'elps ease same of
vitamin E's load: at times it can completely heal an
aliment without vitamin E's assistance; at other times
vitamin E is needed to complete the healing proeess.
Selenium is also a highly versatile mineral in industry. A bluish-gray crystal type of selenium is used
in the manufaeture of photographie eXpQsure meters
and other equipment that has to do with the conversion of light to electrical energy. With physieal and
chemical properties resembling those of sulfur, red
erystal types of selenium are used to make yellow, red
and orange glass. Another type is used to produce a
durable, very elastie rubber compound.
Despite its various uses, selenium is very toxic.
Areas such as the Gunnison River, a tributary of the
Colorado River. have extremely rieh selenium
deposits that ean cause toxicity to livestock drinking
the water or ingesting eertain types of grass that absorb the mineral in huge quantities. (On the other
hand, the soils in parts of the United States, the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
parts of Mexico and New Zealand appear to be
selenium-poor.) Tests on animals have indicated that
whereas too !ittle selenium may lead to liver dysfunction, too mueh will poison the Iiver, ceasing it to
funetion and causing death. Furthermore, a
derivative of selenium-selenides-will poke holes in
teeth.
Ingested selenium accumulates in the protein of
the body tissue, particularly the liver and kidneys. lt
is excreted through the urine. Selenium that shows up
in the feces may not have been properly absorbed.
Allies: Vitamin E.
Antagonists: Since selenium vies with sulfur for
transport along the same causeways in the eells,
either mineral out of balance with tbe other will
create an unhealthy situation.

An invaluable mineral in industry, sulfur also
can be very beneficial to health. Mineral waters and
hot springs reputed to help many types of ailments
contain much sulfur. And during World War I in England soldiers in the hospitals bad thejr wounds

sulfur content acts like an antibiotic and speeds up
the heaJing process.
All vegetables and fruits contain sulfur; thus the
mineral is very important to our Iife processes. The
body consists of approximately Y4 sulfur. The
mineral is found in every cell, with the highest
amount stored in the hair, which contains four to six
per cent of the total sulfur in the body. Without ampie sulfur, hair becomes britt1e and fingernails break
easily.
The amino acid containing sulfur-cystine, cysteine, ergothioneine and methionine-are essential to

Approximately two grams of zine are fauod in a

Toxicity
There is no known level of toxicity for zine, but
since large doses of zinc lower the white blood eell
count, a person with anormal white blood cell count
who takes too mueh zinc may cause an imbalance in
relationship to the red blood cells. Too mueh zinc
will also interfere with the fragile balance between
copper and iron: too much zinc will halt copper, and
an iron shortage will appear. Phosphorus and sulfur

Bach Flower Remedies
In the early 1930's, De. Edward Bach,
homeopathic physician in Britain, experimented for
yeaes with a number of organic substances (trees,
flowers, herbst water, rocks) to find ones that were
safe and had na adverse reacHons to the person. He
saw that many physical manifestations 'of disease
were directly attributed to a person's mental attitudes. In other words, emotions, acting through the
brain. adversely affect tbe nervous/immune system
creating negative stress. Stress creates illness. His
philosophy was: if the person is mentally and emodonally restored to harmony, then tbe person can
deal positively witb stress in their life. not negativeIy, Le., create a physical illness.
Bach found that certain plants, when pieked at a
partieular eyele in their life. released optimum bealing energies, than at other times. He tested many
plants and organie substanees for years. He got rid
of those which were taxie, eaused side affeets or
masked the true problem in the patient. Bach ended
up with 38 essences or remedies that are known
today as the "Bach Flower Remedies"-although,
not all of them are flowers. For instanee:
Roek Water is water found in a wen or spring
known to have curative or healing powers. Aspen.
Beech, Cherry Plum, Chestnut Bud, Crab Apple,
Elm, to name a few, are trees. Gorse, Heather and
Holly, as examples, are bushes, and Wild Oat is a
member of the grain family. So, to say they are all
flower remedies is misleading and inaccurate. Many
homeopatbs will use Baeh F10wer Remedies as an
adjunct or support for the patient wbile tbey are
going through constitutional treatment.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
The Endocrine System
Astrologkal Rulen
Capricorn (anterior pituitary) and Cancer
(posterior pituitary).
Characteristics
The bean-sized pituitary gland is located within
a depression in the middle of the skull and is attached
to the brain by a narrow stalk. There are two
portions-the anterior and posterior lobes. Bach
secretes its own hormones, and each has its own
functions, although the hormones secreted by the
posterior lobe are still somewhat of a mystery.
The anterior pituitary gland produces hormones
that stimulate the other ductless glands to manufacture their own hormones. It also produces a hormone
called somatatrophic that controls the rate of growth
and has a relationship with the breast glands that
produce a mother's milk. This growth hormone is
related to every cell in the body: its thyrotrophic hormone activates the thyroid gland, which in turn
regulates the intermediary metabolie processes of all
cells. The thyroid and growth hormone between them
control the size of the body as a whole.
252
Medical Astrology
hypothyroidism: a normal serum level of TSH excludes primary hypothyroidism. But if the
hypothalamus is suspect of triggering the .problem in
the thyroid, advance tests are indicated.
Diet
OUTing the eighteenth century many people who
lived in the midwestern states suffered frol,Tl goitee,
which was corrected by adding more foods containing iodine to their diets. Saltwater fish were also
eaten to help the thyroid maintain its normal level of
activity. And it is still a good idea to include saltwater
fish in the diet, especially for those people who da
not live near the ocean.
Supplements such as algae. kelp tablets and lrish
moss (an herb seaweed) are good for an ailing
thyroid. Algae are good sources of zine, a mineral
found in high amounts in the thyroid, as weH as
vitamins A and D. Thus Y2 teaspoon of algae powder
a day will help the gland.
Brewer's yeast is also beneficial for the thyroid
gland. Yeast eontains riboflavin, niacin and
thiamine. all integral in the transport of oxygen
within the cells. Iodine then works to help the hor
mone thyroxine step up the oxidation process.
PARATHYROID
Astrologiea) Ruler
Saturn.
Characteristics
h;The four smaU gtands of the parathyroid are
oonnected with and embedded in the thyroid. They
secrete the hormone parathormone, which regulates
the calciumphosphorus metabolism. The bones of
the body as weil as the cardiac muscles depend upon
this gtand to release the proper amount of calcium to
maintain a level of strength in the skeletal system and
consistency of heartbeat. Parathormone is also
necessary for neuromuseular activity, blood clotting,
cell membrane permeability and proper functioning
of several enzymes.
Diseases and Tesis
Hyperparathyroidism: Whenever the gland increases the secretion of calcium, several problems
result. Muscular weakness oecurs because of excessive calcium levels in the bloodstream. Kidney
disease may eventuate as deposits of calcium or
calcium stones occur within the organs. And calcium
is stolen from the bones to flow into the blood, caus
ing demineralization and resorption of the bones to
oceur: such excess calcium in the blood is called
hypercalcemia.
To determine hypercalcemia a serum calcium
253
blood test may be run. Jf the test proves that hypercalcemia exists, then a phosphate clearanee test and
phosphate resorption test may be given to see if the
parathyroid gland is causing !he rise in blood calcium
levels.
Hypoparathyroidism: The first symptoms of
hypoparathyroidism are bodily stiffness, eramps and
spasms of the rnuscles at different times for no apparent reasons (not Charlie horses, caused by sudden
physical exercise), twitehings of the muscles, increas
ed excitability, tension, worry, fear, sleeplessness,
confusion and depression. An infant of two years old
or so who is labeled hyperactive because he or she is
cranky, irritable and emotionally excitable may
actually be suffering from a lowered calcium level.
The severe form of hypoparathyroidism is
known as tetany. a nervous affection in which the
muscles of the legs and arms jerk involuntarily. It occurs most frequently among younger children or
women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. With
tetany there is a numbness and tingling of the extremities, especially the hands. It ean be fatal if
aJlowed to go untreated.
The first step in determining hypoparathyroidism is to get a blood serum ealcium test. A test
to find out if the parathyroid hormone is the root of
the problem has still not been perfected.
Diet
A diet high in calcium, vitamin 0 and
magnesium is best for the parathyroid. Without adequate vitamin 0 calcium is not absorbed properly.
and magnesium plays an important part in the release
of parathormone. lt is not wise, however, to use milk
as a SOurce of calcium: adults do not need milk,
which only creates pockets of mucus in the body that
eventually slow down the internal absorption processes. In fact, any dairy product should be taken in
moderation, since they all are mucous-producing.
Supplements of calcium gluconate or dolomite
tablets with vitamin D (fish liver oil only) will do the
job instead.
The diet should perhaps also be low in phosphorus. With hypoparathyroidism phosphorus levels
inerease. Furthermore, Americans generally consume
large amounts of foods very high in phosphorus. But
of course, anyone contemplating a phosphorus-free
diet should first consult a physician.
Several herbs are good for the parathyroid.
Springtime horsetail is 50 per cent silica and excellent
for rebuilding brittle or calcium-robbed bones. Other
herbs with high calcium eontents are
Jamb's-quarters, mallow. mint and fjeld mustard.
Dandelions. soybeans. watercress and filberts
(hazelnuts) are also rich in calcium.

ADRENALS
Astrological Ruler
Mars.
Characteristics
Perched atop each of the kidneys, the adrenals
actually consist of two separate glands: the cortex
tissue and the medulla. The cortex secretes hormones, such as cortisone, that deal with fluid and
electrolyte balance, influence the carbohydrate
metabolism and help determine the levels of sex hormones. The medulla helps with the release of
adrenaline (epinephrine), a hormone that is responsible for the breakdown and mobilization of glycogen
and fauy acids so that energy is available upon call.
The adrenal glands are very important in the
body. When the pituitary gland releases ACTH, activity is triggered in the adrenal cortex: the resulting
hormones, cortisol and corticosterone, affect protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms. In addition, aldosterone affe<:ts the excretion of sodium and
potassium in the body. And androgens and estrogens
are released, which affect secondary sex
characteristics, such as an individual's degree 'of
maleness or femaleness.
Diet
The adrenals contain a good supply of phosphorus, pantothenic acid and zine. Sinee most
Americans receive enough phsophorus through their
daily diets, this mineral is not usually lacking; but if a
person is undergoing a continued stress situation,
foods high in zinc should be considered.
Brewer's yeast, high in minerals, is also very
good for anyone under stress and is beneficial in any
program to rebuild the adrenal glands. (Of course, it
is also important to remove the stress situation if
possible.)
Several herbs are useful in rebuilding the adrenal
gtands. Chamomile and catnip are mild nervines.
corice root, another herb good for the adrenal
glands, should be used in eonjunction with
hawthorn, but heart patients should eonsult their
doetors before using hawthorn. In fact, anyone using
powerful herbs such as skuUeap and valerian root,
recommended for the adrenal glands, should reeeive
a physician's permission. A person who is taking
drugs should especially check with the doctor to see if
there are incompatabilities between the above mentioned herbs and the drugs.
THYMUS
Astrological Ruler
Neptune.
Characteristics
Loeated in the chest directly behind the sternum,
the thymus gland weighs 13 grams at birth, growing
rapidly the first two years of life. At puberty it
weighs approximately 30 grams. Then after puberty
the thymus diminishes until by adulthood it has
become small and fibrosed.
The thymus gland is of major importance in
fighting infections that invade the body. lt releases

Medical Astrology
Characteristies
A woman's ovaries produce the hormones
estrogen and progesterone, responsible for sexual
eharacteristies, uterus preparation for pregnaney and
development of the mammary glands in the breast.
The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) eneourages
the growth of the ovarian follides. As they grow,
another hormone, progesterone, thiekens the lining
of the uterus to receive the egg. The hormone
stimulates the pituitary gland to release the luteinizing hormone (LH).
lt takes a balance between these two hormones
to bring about the release of the egg for fertilization
down in the uterus. The corpus luteum of the ovary
produces progesterone, which will halt ovulation
production and secretion of estrogen. This action will
cease menstruation in a woman during pregnancy. lf
there is no fertilization, the progesterone decreases
and the familiar 28-day eyde starts all over again.
Diseases and Tests
Many women complain of premenstrual cramp
ing or excessive bleeding, verging on hemorrhaging.
Some women also have trouble conceiving, a problem that may be attributed to an endocrine malfunction. And during menopause many women experience hot flashes and mental instability while the
endocrine system is shutting down some of its hor
monal secretions.
Estrogen levels are usually determined through
tissue sampling, easily undertaken with a Pap test.
There are as yet no laboratory procedures available
to check the endoerine functions.
Die.
Among the vitamins and minerals beneficial for
the ovaries are vitamin E, vitamin A, fatty acids,
calcium, magnesium and selenium. Vitamin E and
selenium are highly recommended to help inerease
chances of fertilization. Vitamin A helps keep the
mueous membranes of the ovaries healthy. Fatty
acids are good for alleviating some generative problems. As dolomite, a combination of magnesium
and calcium, has been known to make hot flashes
disappear during menopause.
Among the herbs that are good for the ovaries,
black cohosh contains some natural estrogen supplement, and cramp bark and raspberry leaves are wellknown for prevention of cramps.
Women who experienee severe hemorrhaging
may get relief from the cell salt kali muriatieum
(chloride of potassium). This cell salt, given at 6X
potency, can halt most heavy menstrual bleeding
within Y2 hour to 45 minutes if four milklaetose
tablets are taken every five minutes until the bleeding
Astrologieal Rulers
Scorpio and Pluto.
Characlerislics
The male endocrine glands. the testes, are
loeated in the serOlUm. Secondary male sexual
characteristics are produced from several other
glands. The pituitary gland sends FSH, a special hor
mone, to the testes, where testosterone is produeed
and circulated throughout the bloodstream for the
maseulinization of the body. This FSH is responsible
for production of sperm.
Diseases and Tests
Very Iittle seems to go wrong with the testes;
however, if the honnone androgen is missing, sexual
interest can abate and erection may fail, creating impotence. There also may be troubles with the prostate
gland, located around the neck of the bladder and
urethra in men, which produces a glandular secretion
that helps form semen. A common aHment in men
after middle age (45) is that the prostate becomes
enlarged, causing partial or eomplete blockage of
urine from the bladder. After men reach the age of
60, tumors and cakuli stones related to ailments of
the prostate gland are also quite common.
The prostate can be checked through a rectal examination . A sperm count can also be taken to check
fertility. And androgen levels can be ascertained
through various tests that a physician may ehoose.
Diel
Several supplements and foods ean aid an ailing
prostate. Pumpkin seeds, an excellent souree of zinc.
help the gland. Vitamin E, sunflower seeds and the
herb yarrow also contain zine as weil as certain
amino acids very beneficial to the prostate. And
magnesium has been quite successful in treating prostate enlargemem.
Unsaturated fatty acids. such as sunflower, cot
tonseed and wheat germ oil, will stimulate the testes
to manufacture testosterone. And the herb sarsaparilla eontains three hormones beneficia! to the
testes-progesterone, cortin and testosterone. A cup
of sarsaparilla tea a day is recommended.
PINEAL
Astrological Ruler
Neptune.
Characteristics
Pineal is the French word for "pine cone." This
oval, red gland sits in the brain and is oflen calJed the
third eye because it looks like an eye. Descartes, the
seventeenth-century philosopher, feit that the pinea!
gland was the seat of the soul. The gland could
possibly be involved in extrasensory perception, such
as telepathy and intuition.
Scientists know very litde about the mysterious
pinea!. They have been unable to trace a hormone to
the gland. However, they do know that, somewhat
like the thymus, the pineal gland is more enlarged
through puberty then shrinks as adulthood ap~
proaches. Some biochemists feel that the pineal gtand
might be the computer that activates the body.

Below are POTENTIAL health indication via
the transits, or daily motion of the planets. The best
way to use HEALTH TRANSIT is in conjunction
with !he Med-Scan Technique ("MST") (see Appendix, Cosmic Patterns), which outlines the potential
vitamin/mineral deficiency symptoms for the individual. With the slower moving transits, such as
Satum. Uranus. Neptune aod Pluto, potential nutrilional deficiencies may be created within the individual during that time. However. to make sure,

a possible area to be tested, is the thyroid. Or, if YOll

much rest or relaxation, then the adrenal glands may
be exhausted. Then. you ean look to Vitamin C and
Pantothenie Acid to "feed" them so they will stabiUre. It also means you must rest and recoup during

parathyroid gland, and either too much or not
enough calcium is being released iota the
bloodstream. lf concerned about this, check out Calcium deficiency symptoms. If you have several of
these symptoms, go to the doctor and have your
parathyroid gland tested.
Bone and teeth problems ean surface under this

root canal is eminent, get to a homeopathic doctor, for
there are excellent remedies to halt the infection and
inflammation, thereby saving you from an expensive

CHAPTER TIDRTEEN
Herbs
INCOMPATIBILITY
One of the dangers in prescribing herbs is that
many herbs are antagonists with each other or with
other substanees. In fact, combining the wrong herbs
can have deadly results. For example, an alkaline
herb does not mix with an acidie one. The outcome
of such a chemical interreaction can be great
sickness.
The mixture of an alkaline herb with an acidic
one is an example of chemical incompatibility, a
problem that plagued herbalists in the nineteenth
century. (Unfortunately, most of our knowledge
about herbs comes only from nineteenth-century
texts.) Dr. Cuthbert Bowen, writing in 1888,
lamented that students in medical schools in the east
were having problems mixing the proper herbs to get
best results.
Through trial and error these nineteenth-century
herbalists learned to avoid making herbai formulas
that produeed hydrates, carbonates, phosphates,
borates or tannates of alkaloids and metals. For instance. if a person mixes quinine, derived from cer~
tain cinchona barks, with phosphoric acid, used as an
auxillary to provide necessary duration, the chemical
result is phosphate of quinine. This insoluble salt will
fall to the bottom of the bottle, forming a thiek, unsightly precipitate: two salts should not be combined
in a solution that will change their radieals and form
a third, insoluble compound, which the body is
unable to break down. Or. if limewater, used frequently as a vehiele to mask the taste of an herbal
formula. is brought into contaet with sulphate of
calcium, which is insoluble, another insoluble is
precipitated. In addition, quinine sulphate and
potassium acetate in solution will produce a heavy,
unmanageable precipitate of acetate of quinine. And
if a vehicle such as syrup of squills, containing acetic
acid, is combined with alkaline carbonates, carbonie
acid gas will evolve-a very painful substance when
ingested.

Infusions
These preparations are generally made by pouring boiling water over ground or bruised roots,
barks, herbs or seeds, letting the drug stand Y2 hour,
stirring occasionally and then carefully straining the
dear liquid off. When a ground drug-e.g .. calumba
or quassia-yields its properties to water without
heat, cold water may be used. The usual quantity of
deug to one pint of water is one ounce, but in a few
cases, when a drug contains very active principles,
less of the drug is sufficient. The dosages of most infusions vary from a tablespoonful to a wineglassful
or a teacupful.
Decoctions
As a rule. decoctions are made by pouring cold

TInctures
Tinctures are spirituous prepaeations made with
pure or diluted spirits of wine of drugs containing
gummy, resinous or volatile principles; of drugs
rendered useless by the application of heat; or of
drugs that will not yield their properties to water
alone. since their active principles are more readily
extracted, better held in solution and better preserved
from deterioration by spirits. Tinctures are generally
made in a strength of one to two ounces of drug 10
one pint liquid. Dosages vary according to the active
principles contained in the drugs.
Pills
Pitls are perhaps the best known and most wideIy used form of medication, mainly because of their
handy form and convenience, as weil as their comparative tastelessness. For the most part pills are

HOMEGROWN HERDS
Many herbs ean be grown by anyone with
relative ease. City dwellers ean raise them in pots lined
up along the ledges of their windows. Country
dwellers, of course, ean use their gardens. Then the
leaves and seeds of the planes may be harvested for
eooking or medicinal purposes aeeording to the following instruetions.
Harvest the leaves of herbs in dry weather and in
the morning after the dew is off the ground: the
strength of the plants deereases during the day. And
leave enough growth on plants for them to bush out
again.
Do not dry the leaves in direct sunlight. Place
flowers or small amounts of leaves between two
screens for drying. Hang annuals in labeled bunehes
in a warm, dry, airy room. Dry herbs that have been
harvested in wet weather in the oven at a temperature

Catnip is good with fish and salads.
Chemistry: Catnip's chemistry is unknown. For
some reason rats dislike tbe plant immensely and will
not approach it; thus it makes a good border around
a barn or other place where rats tend to congregate.
On the other hand, cats find the plant fascinating and
will destroy it when it has been transplanted outdoors
from inside. (They won't bother the plant if it has
been grown from its inception outside.)
Medicinaf Uses: Catnip is an aromatic, car
minative, anodyne, antispasmodic and diaphoretic.
As part of a formula for children (112 teaspoon cat
nip to 1 cup water), it is good for convulsions, It is
also good for gas, wind colic and stomach acidity.
Preparations: For an infusion use one teaspooon
of the herb with one cup boiling water. Steep and
strain. Take one to two cups per day.
For a tincture use the same proportions of catnip
to water. Take 1/2 to I teaspoon at a time.
For a tea steep one teaspoon leaves to one cup
water.

known as aquamarine. The history of this stone,
whose name is Latin far "seawater," is interesting.
During the Middle Ages, people thought that if they
held an aquamarine stone in the mouth, the gern
would eonvey insight into the most perplexing questions they could ask. When this stone was eonsecrated by the Church, many believed it would
conquer all forms of wickedness. When an elixir of
aquamarine was made, the water used was either

As discussed earlier, the chakras in Dur etheric
template - that energy field that surrounds the
physical body - have a specific color. Each color
in tbe light spectrum has a corresponding vibrational
wavelike frequency. In nature, gems aod flowers (to
name a few) have a primary, aod sometimes secondary, color, aod they duplieate those wavelike frequencies precisely. Fr instance, roses may be a
single color oe several colors, depending upon the
varielY
At Dur horne, La Casa de Madre Tiefea (The
House of Mother Earth), we have nearly fifty rose
bushes. Abont half of them are the "tree" variety
and the others are the bush type. I've named each
bush, and 1 don't go hy their species names, which
seem very distant and disconnected. Every fruit tree
on the land we steward has a personal name, tao.
One of the roses in our garden is known as Astarte, and she's an Angel Face species sporting lush
lavender-cotored rose "babies" - her children, in a
sense. Astarte has an ineredibly sweet fragrance to
her. This particular rose is a tree rose and has a
rather "tight" bloom. lf you peeled hack the petals
on one of her blossoms, you would find the same
lavender color consistently throughout it.
Another rose, Delilah, has orange as her primary
color, with yellow and red as her secondary colors.
She's a buge rose bush that stands over eight feet
tall, and ber "children" have a heady fragrance that
swirls aronnd yon whenever yon walk near her. The
pelals are an apricot color on the outer edge, becoming an imense red-orange color as you look toward
the center of the large, soft peta!. Tbere is a deep
gold color at the base of tbe petal that moves upward
10 mix with the deeper orange color in the center of
the petal. Add to that dark red veins that ron
throughout tbe center of the petal, which vividly remind one of capillaries filled with blood.
Each rose's color defines an area of skill; their
essences address particular chakras in a human body.
Let's look at the ehakra overJay with these two roses.
Astarte has lavender-colored blooms, corresponding
with the hrow chakra, which transmits the purple
(violet and lavender) spectrum of color and energy.
Whereas Delilah has connections with her primary
color, orange, and 1S connected to the navel chakra,
her secondary colors, yellow and red, correspond to
the solar plexus and root chakras, respectively.
Color helps us to define which energy system or
systems a natural essence can help in a human being.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Cell SaUs
Cell salts. inorganic minerals that inhabit the
cells of the body and are instrumental in maintaining
health, have been known in Europe sice the early
1800's. In lndia tbey have been known since Vedic
times. The man who modernized the use of cell-salt
therapy was Dr. William H. Schuessler of Oldenburg, Germany, a homeopath looking for a simple,
unified system of treatment.
Schuessler based his experiments with cell salts
on the ideas of Professor Moleschott of Rome University, who stated that the structure and functions
of the organs depended upan the presence of inorganic constiuents, what Schuessler latee termed celJ
saUs because the mineral salts are used in such minute
Quantities that they can be absorbed immediately.
Constituting only five per cent of the body, inorganic matter is nevertheless very important to the
overall functioning of the body. Every cell in the
body contains many of these mineral salts, which are
necessary for all metabolism. Without them no
organic material can be digested or eliminated. They
also give strength and rigidity to the bones of the
skeleton. They aid in the building of the soft tissue,
such as museIes, cartilage and blood cells. And their
solubility within the fluids of the body helps determine the acid-alkaline metabolism as well as other
secretions, such as digestive juices and saliva.
Schuessler's contention, later embraced by other
homeopaths, was that if a small portion of a person's
cells were deficient in one of the inorganic salts,
symptoms would occur. If enough cells did not get an
adequate amount of a salt, a disease would eventually manifest. By thoroughly studying the symptoms
produced. Schuessler was able to determine which
cell salt to give as therapy. And he found that
treating the problem with the cell salts relieved the
symptoms and restored health.
CELL SALTS AND ASTROLOGY
A1though there are hundreds of minerals in the
body, Schuessler considered the 12 mineral salts
essential to health. Astrologers have traditionally
assigned each of these cell salts to one of the signs of
the zodiac, as folIows:
Aries-kali phosphoricum
Taurus-natrum sulphuricum
Gemini-kali muriaticum
Cancer-calcarea fluorica
Leo-magnesia phosphorica
Virgo-kali sulphuricum
Libra-natrum phosphoricum
Scorpio-ca1carea sulphurica
Sagittarius-silicea
Capricorn-calcarea phosphorica
Aquarius-natrum muriaticum
Pisces-ferrum phosphoricum.
And based on these correlations, many
astrologers have suggested that a person should take
the cell salt ruled by his or her sun sign plus the cell
salt ruled by the opposite sign. For example, aperson
born with the Sun in Aries should take both kali
phosphoricum and natrum phosphoricum, ruled by
Libra, Aries' opposite sign.
Another theory is that a person should take the
ceH salts ruled by the signs that natal Saturn and the
natal South Node occupy. The reasoning behind this
theory Is that Saturn always indicates a shortage of
something-in this case, a cell salt-and the South
Node indicates any inherent weakness or "leak" in a
natal chart.
But neither of these theories is foolproof. As
Bob Mulligan, a medical astrologer who lives in
Nal?les. Florida. has realized, no one system is going
to be accurate 100 per cent of the time because ceIl
saH needs vary with each individual. Many
astrological factors. not just the placement of the
Sun or one or two planets, will determine a person's
needs.
Mulligan, who has traveled three limes to India
to study with homeopathic physicians there, uses an
astrological procedure also followed by Inez Carey
and Vanda Sawtel to ascertain a person's potential
for deficiencies in ceIl salts by looking at the natal
chart. First he examines the placements of the Sun
and its opposite sign; second. the Moon and its opposite sign; third, Saturn and its opposite sign;
fourth, the South Node and its opposite sign; and
last, Mercury and its opposite sign.
He does not believe that the placement of Saturn
alone provides enough information: although the
placement of Saturn may indicate the root cause of
an ailment, it does not indicate a deficiency. Instead.
Mulligan believes that any combination of the
planets mentioned may indicate what ceIl salts are
needed. He has also found that house placement is
sometimes more important than sign placement. And
he has recognized that the skill of the medical
astrologer counts a great deal toward determining
what cell salts should be used.
Because of the unreliability of any one
astrological system for administering cell salts, it is
best for a medical astrologer to match a person's
symptoms against the symptomology listed in Dr.
Schuessler's Biochemistry by J. B. Chapman, M.n .
and then look at the natal chart to determine the root
of the ailment. A medical astro!oger also needs to
look carefully at the natal chart to find out what
amount of a cell salt should be administered under a
doctor's guidance. As l've indicated, each person's
Cell Sal1.

the Tenth Hause or First Hause cusp will also indieate a deug-sensitive individual. (Neptune in the
First Hause and not conjunct the Ascendant may or
may not indicate a deug-sensitive person: the degree
of sensitivity will probably depend upon the number
of aspects Neptune makes with other natal planets,
with more than two hard aspects indieating an in
dividual who needs lower dosages of drugs.) Furthermore, Neptune in the Sixth House in hard aspect with
two or more other natal planets suggests that the per
son will have allergie reactions to drugs in general
and therefore need only V2 the normal dosage of cell
salts.
If the Moon, whieh rules over the fluid tides of
the body, is a singleton or the handle of a bucketlike
configuration in achart, occupying the First or Tenth
House cusp within eight degrees, the perSOn will probably need only Y2 dosage. If the Moon is conjunet
Neptune, the individual will be especially sensitive to
drugs. And, sinee Neptune rules Pisces and Virgo is
Pisces' polar opposite, any person with natal planets
in Pisces or Virgo will more than likely be sensitive to
all drugs, including eell salts.
Calcarea Fluorlca
Astrofogicaf Rufer: Cancer.
Synonyms: Calcium fluoride, calc. fluor. and
fluoride of time.
Characteristics: This tissue salt is found in large
quantities on the surface of the banes. in the enamel
of the teeth and in the fibers of the skin, muscles and
blood vessels. It adds elasticity to these parts.
Dejiciency Symptoms: Any part of the body that
cracks or splits when ordinary folding or bending
takes plaee points toward a defidency of ealcera
fluorica. The symptoms include cracked lips, cold
sores at the corners of the mouth, a fissured tongue
that looks rutted and loss of enamel on the teeth.
There mayaiso be splitting of the skin near the anus,
hemorrhoids, ehapped hands and skin that reets hard
or thickened.
bodily needs are different. No one can really be coosidered "normal." Some individuals need more than
the normal amount of a medicaton; others, less.
Ta determine a person's degree of sensitivity to
cell salts. a medical astro!oger should look carefully
at Neptune, Pisces. Virga and the Moon in a oatal
chart.
For instance, Neptune conjunct another planet.
especially Mars. will suggest that a person needs a
lower dosage than is considered normal-usually V2
of the adult dose for adults and V2 of the children's
dose for children. Neptune within eight degrees of

Kali Muriaticum
Astrological Ru/er: Gemini.
Synonyms: Kali mur. and chloride of potassium.
Characteristics: This salt is found in the blood,
musdes, nerves, brain cells and intercellular fluid. It
unites with albumin to form fibrin. Found in every
tissue of the body except for the bones, fibrin is a
whitish filament protan instrumental in dotting of
the blood and eoagulation in general. Its filaments
are interlaced and entangled with the red and white
blood cells and platelets to form the dot. It is also
partly responsible for helping cells maintain their
proper shapes.
Dejiciency Symptoms: Arelease of albumin in
dicates a lack of kali muriaticum. There will be a
thiek, white mueous discharge. The tongue may be
white or grey..-coated. And drainage from any orifice
mayoccur.
Symptoms connected with a cold or ehest congestion mayaiso appear with a deficiency of this cell
salt. The lymph gtands may swell and be sore. There
may be earaches and other middle ear problems:
snapping sounds may take place within the ear. And
there may be hoarseness or loss of voice.
Other symptoms indicating a shortage of kali
323
Kali Phosphoricum
Astrofogical Rufer: Aries.
Synonyms: Kali phos. and phosphate of
potassium.
Characteristics: Kali phosphoricum is found in
the fluids and tissue of the body, wirh the highest
coneentration in the brain and nerves. Homeopaths
consider it one of the greatest nerve remedies because
it is especially effective on the sympathetie nervous
system. Any muscular debility disease is also said to
respond favorably to this tissue salto
Uniting with albumin, this salt is very helpful in
creating the tissue of the brain known as the grey
matter.
Deficiency Symptoms: Mental fatigue and ner
vous exhaustion are the two major symptoms. People
who are constantly tense and nervous, who work too
hard without adequate rest and fray their fragile oervous systems, are probably deficient in the cell salt.
Kali phosphorieum helps to rejuvenate and soothe so
that an individual is able to eontinue.
Headaehes, perhaps caused by too much studying, reading or work-related tension, are another
common symptom. There may also be a humming or
buzzing sound in the ears, and the breath may be offensive and fetid.
In WOmen menstruation may be late and seanty.
In bOlh sexes the urine may be extremely yellow and
diarrhea may be common.
Mental depression, malaise, prostration and
bodily weakness are some of the other signals of a
deficieney of kali phosphorieum. People who
become easily frightened or hysterical will often respond favorably to this tissue salt. Since there tends to
be a restabilization process that takes place with kali
phosphoricum, it lifts people up from depression and
brings people down from the heights of exaggerated
emotional stress.
Kali Sulphuricum
Astrological Ruler: Virgo.
Synonyms: Kali sulph. and sulphate of potash.
Characteristics: Kali sulphuricum carries oxygen
to the skin and coverings of the mueous and serous
membranes. One of the c1eansers, as all sulfurbearing nutrients are, it is coneerned with the oil
secretions of the body, especially of the hair and
skin. It also promotes the flow of perspiration that is
responsible for keeping the skin 'breathing." It may
be thought of as the oil we put in our engines to keep
